Our New Tree House

We were going to post pictures this week of our HUGE adventure to Pennsylvania Dutch/Amish Country this week (we might still get to it!), but we had more pressing news to share.

Just yesterday there was a storm that came through our area. It wasn't the worse storm we've ever seen around here, but the wind sent half of our neighbor's tree plummeting into our kitchen ceiling, kitchen windows, and the driveway!
This picture should be up and down, so if you look at it sideways, you can see how one large branch is poking through the ceiling:
Another fabulous spot of the ceiling:
Here you can see how drywall hanging into the kitchen is a real interior design plus. We think it's going to be a new trend!
And finally, here's our smashed window with one of the big branches resting nicely on the roof. What you can't see here are all of the branches that made their way through the roof and into our kitchen! So much for asking Daddy to build us a treehouse in our backyard; now we have our very own in the kitchen!
The great news is that no one was hurt and the damage could have been much worse. 2010 is shaping up to be QUITE the year for our family!!

Smile for the Camera!

We wanted to get our pictures taken when we turned 2 (WAAAAY back in January), but Mommy was just too sick to make it happen. Instead, we got our pictures taken at the ripe old age of 2 1/2. We just had to wear pig-tales because we are still pretty much sporting the baby-mullet and putting our hair up really helps give us that "yes, we are 2 1/2 and no our mom does not cut our hair in a mullet on purpose" look.The pictures are courtesy of Target Studios and we've picked out the best ones for your viewing enjoyment. Smiles all around!


This is serious business!


Of course Target Studios is no match for our favorite photog, but it's what works for us now (especially with Mommy in her current condition). We hope you enjoy them!
