A few more things...I have a new iphone so most of the photos I take are on that. I haven't figured out how to post from that to the blog yet. But, once I do, I'll be posted a lot of them!
And....Lily is into EVERYTHING lately! I have 30 second windows to get things done before I have to pull her off of the kitchen table or whatever else she's into. Whew!

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. I have quite a few projects going here. We have had the main floor walls painted which includes our 2 story entryway. The color is similar to one before, just a warmer color with more of a gold tone to it.
We've also just had our master bathroom painted. Again, not much different just warmer and fresher. It's amazing how great a new coat of paint makes the house feel.
I'm working on putting on wainscoting in the dining room and then the upper half will be changed from a dark red to a milk chocolate brown. Also, some of the curtains are being changed. I'm in the mood to lighten everything up. We've leaned towards darker colors and heavy metal/iron type pieces in the past, but it's time for some small changes.
What's funny is I realized that we've painted our main area the color of Tank and the bathroom and dining room are a shade of Liesl. I guess we do love them, even though they drive us bonkers most days!

Happy Birthday, Dad!

Dad's Beatles Birthday

This is such a late post! Dad's party was over a week ago. We held his party at the Country Club and I have to say it was a pretty fun bash! We had a Beatles cake and a Sergeant Peppers banner that we all stood behind to be a Beatle for the day!

Can you see him? (Look to the right of Scott Dorsey's raised fist about 3 or so people.)

Tim's trip to the NYSE

Today, a client of Tim's began trading publicly. Exact Target was asked to ring the opening bell on the NYSE and Tim was asked to go since he has done so much of their legal work. It was pretty darn exciting to watch CNBC this morning and see people I knew up there on the tower ringing the bell. Tim got to stand with other ET people on the floor right in front of it. He was out to NY and back in about 24 hrs...no kidding. The trip was done in a "New York minute!" He said it was one of the most exciting things he's ever been a part of. Scott Dorsey, ET CEO is talking with Betty Liu and Cramer on CNBC.

This was Tim's view. He took this photo on his phone.
Wall Street
What an awesome banner, huh?! How exciting would it be to see that when before you walked in?!

Dad's Birthday

Because it's a big one, for Dad's birthday this year, I contacted 60 or so of his friends and family and asked them to send a card or note with funny stories or memories to me. Then I gave them all to him in one box.

Sanibel, FL

We went to Sanibel from last Thursday through Monday. Our weather was awesome! We had a condo right on the beach and on the corner so the views were spectacular. The girls did a lot of swimming. I was so proud of Emma. She practiced enough to where she was jumping in the deep end and swimming around. She was pretty proud of herself, too.This little monkey was a bit tricky to entertain for the travel days. She DID NOT want to sit still in her carseat! She climbed around her seat and paced the floor for a long time.
One of the meltdowns...
