Whew!

Nate bought me shutters for my b-day & we finally made the time to paint & install them. I think they look so very nice...they are small but they add so much. Just a little accent around the two windows that lead to our front door. Thanks, babe...the paint job is awesome!! Oh, & Nate installed a screen/storm door on our front door about 2 months ago (if you click on the photo & look at the front door you can see that it is there but it is hard to see as it is white as well as our front door is white). We are able to keep our front door open to let in natural lite & still have our air/heat running because the storm door is weather tight (the door changes from screen to storm door when you close the window with the screen on it the screen rolls up into the door & the glass window replaces the screen which makes the door weather tight...hope that makes sense). We love these home improvement projects & look forward to doing more!

The kids play really well together & LOVE to play in Chloe's room. So, as long as the door is open & I can check on them regularly, I do not have a problem with it. But, if it gets too quiet, I know they are into trouble...or maybe just asleep after a hard morning of playin'. Pretty stinkin' cute!

Chloe's cheer class has sadly come to an end. Last nite was her last class. The gym is shutting down for awhile until the economy turns around. They had a fun last class stunting, dancing, doing their motions, & jumping on the trampoline. The coaches bought the girls some ice cream & gave a present to each of the girls...a new sweatshirt!! We told Chloe that when God closes one door, he opens another. So, we are a little sad but are looking forward to the new doors: like starting preschool (in 2 weeks)!! Her teacher came for an in home visit last monday afternoon & Chloe really likes her (Miss Johann). We look forward to being apart of this program.
