Zani's room

Remember when Alexandra did this to her bedroom wall?
When my mom came out to visit in March she helped me paint Alexandra's room. I picked out a light purple. I was worried that it was going to be too light but it turned out to be the perfect shade. Here is the finished color.
Alexandra pointing out the purple on her walls. She loves it!
Then our neighbors gave us a twin size captains bed. It sat in our garage for almost 2 months because it was so heavy that Tim and I couldn't carry it in the house by ourselves. Our home teachers came to the rescue and helped us move it in a few weeks ago. My mom painted the inserts of the drawers on the bed so they would match the wall. Here is the finished product.
I think it is a cute little girls room!

(Now we need to finish the other projects that we started last year. Hopefully they will get finished by next year.)

Avery update

(Jana requested more pictures of the kids.) Avery is getting so big. She will be 2 the end of August. Crazy! Her hair is long - and I cut about an inch off a month ago. She is definitely a momma's girl. She has great facial expressions too and she will stare you down if she doesn't want you around. (Ask April Jacobs!) She is eating bread sticks and ranch in these pictures. She loves her "dip." Sometimes she ends up eating just ketchup for lunch and leaving the chicken nuggets untouched. She talks - but it is usually mumbled. If you listen carefully you can figure out what she is trying to say. Except for "YEAH" she says that all the time and really loud. She will also take off her diaper whenever she can (so I try and keep pants on her most of the time). She is also learning from her sister and can make a mess quickly and quietly. What a cutie pie she really is.
