Home Improvements

This was the ONLY wall that was not painted an almond color when we moved in. I am not sure why it was left like this but maybe the previous owner was going for a retro look. Well, I didn't really like it and my dad offered to drywall it for us. We gladly accepted his offer and now we have a nice wall that just needs some paint.

Home Improvements

John, Jeff (my dad), and Pete (John's dad) took out this window and put in a sliding glass door in its place.

The result is better access to the back yard via the dining room. My dad replaced our old 1968 window in our bedroom with this window.

Jeff and Loretta visit

My parents came up for a visit at the end of June/beginning of July. We packed so much into a week and a half while they were here. We went to the zoo, took a trip to Valdez, did some shopping, and worked on a few house projects.

Levi got to go to dairy queen all by himself with Grandpa and Grandma. He loved his ice cream cone, but he didn't get to eat the whole thing.

Big Boy Bed

Levi has made the switch from crib to big-boy-bed. I was nervous about this transition, thinking that there would be a lot of disciplining to go along with it; however, Levi hasn't even attempted to get out of his bed once we have put him in it for the night and for naps! He just lies in bed and talks to himself or sings. I think one of the things that made this transition easy was Levi watching his cousin Ella get to be in a big girl bed. He also loves his new "car" sheets! This is how John found him last night. :)
