Moving to Illinois

Well, we are less than 2 weeks away from taking the long and cold journey to Illinois!! We are all very excited, but hope that the weather cooperates with us on our moving weekend!! It has been snowing quite a bit in Illinois and hopefully it will subside before we get there!!

Here is a pic of our new house. I haven't seen it yet, but I have confidence that Dan made the right decision for our family.

Cedar Bayou Gets a Makeover

Dan and I spent the whole past weekend painting new shutters on our house and painting the doors black. We are really excited about the results. We were both very sore on Sunday from actually working some very deprived muscles, but the results were well worth it!!

Claire's 1st Birthday!

Piggy had a birthday party for her baby, Claire, on the 12th!! I bought this doll for her exactly one year ago in Rome and she made sure that Claire had the best b-day ever! She even made her a lemon birthday cake in my new Kitchen Aid Mixer!! What a couple of dolls!

BTW, the gal in purple is "Carmen".
