Wedding, Walking and Waves

It has been a really long time since my last post and that's because we have been super busy. We just got back from South Padre where Andrew had to go for a conference and we tagged along. 2 other couples went with us and there kids...we had a blast. Noah didn't like the sand or the water but he liked to look at it. We are hoping that he gets over his fear and gets used to the water because we plan on going to the beach again soon.

This past weekend Andrew's brother Tom got married and it was a beautiful wedding. 2 days before the wedding Noah decided he was going to start walking and now you can't keep up with him. He is all over the place, which is one reason why we had to stay in the lobby to watch the wedding...he wanted to get down and walk and didn't want to sit still with me. We had a great time with family.

Now back to the real world and back to house decorating and painting........

Playroom

Let me first begin by saying that Noah is almost 13 months old...I have a toddler...What? When did that Happen. Here is a pic of his first train ride at zilker park...so cute. He is really starting to express his little personality even more now and let's just say it's a good thing we are currently doing a study about how to raise your child because the time of pushing boundaries has come....He is such a sweet boy though and has decided to do things in his own time. He is my little man

I have finally decided on what to do in the playroom so next month once things slow down for us we are going to do this room, then his room the next month. I found these cute puff chairs on http://ohdeedoh.com and it actually has a tutorial on how to make them yourself. I love this site by the way.

On the same site I found these really cute book slings that will also be making an appearance in the play room as well. He is going to also have a chalkboard wall and his own art gallery...look for before and after pics next month.

Dining Room in Progress

I finally found plates for the dining room and I love them. I found them at Marshalls for 2 dollars a plate. I bought the same plate at a boutique store for 20 dollars so they were a steal.

I still need to fins a china cabinet to go on the wall behind the table but I am so in love with how it is turning out. ....sorry my camera sucks...We plan on getting a better one for Christmas.

Also decided what to do in the art nitch....I put out fresh flowers every week and honestly I love it...and where do I get them.....

Noah's room idea

After lots of searching and looking at ideas I have finally decided on what I am going to do with Noah's room. I wanted it to be a room he can grow into so we won't be changing it for a while. So his entire room is going to be done around this 1 pillow that I just love...Its from Serena and Lily...I love that store.....

It is going to be awesome..I have tons of ideas going through my brain but the big idea is " A boys best friend"..we have 2 labs and Noah just loves them so much.

A year of Blessings

Wow it really seems like time has flown by this past year. I love this little guy so much and he has brought a love into our hearts that I never knew existed. We love you so much Noah. Today Noah had his 12 month pictures so I just wanted to share some of our favorite pictures from the past year !!!

Love This

If I could do it all over again it would be something like this.....
