There is a light!

Life is busy, but life is good. 

Dave has been off for the last week and we have had full and fun days, and loads of house progress. We spent a morning at The Butterfly House and a day at The Children's Museum in Brookings. It has been nice to get out of the daily grind when time and weather allows. The kids have so much fun, but mostly fun together. We can't wait to see how Piper mixes things up when she is older. Oh, and Piper officially has two teeth! What a champ! It's going so fast...

Greta has mastered the big girl potty, most of the time. She has the occasional mishap, but overall, she's got it! She requires a stool so she can do it all by herself, which required a trip to Bed, Bath, and Beyond to buy too many stools, but its worth it.

I intend to get some before and after pics up in the coming days, so you will get more of a feel for our progress. 

Thats it for now. Dave goes back to work on Monday and the workers will gradually fade out over the next two weeks. Im so ready, but kind of sad to see them go. The peace and quiet, and lack of 'construction' zones will be amazing, however, the guys are really nice. Ill adjust just fine ;), after all, we have plenty of spring projects just around the corner which will bring them back. We are so happy with the results. 

Loads of photos :).

play downstairs. 

Finally!

Sully and Greta build a snowman and name her 'Piper,' followed by
a snowball fight which Greta wasn't interested in. 

One on one time with Piper while the older
kids are at Miss Jaspers'. 

Greta gets new shoes! And dresses herself (notice her
pants are inside out and backwards).

Jammie photo shoot, Piper is 12.5 weeks old.
