enjoying the view

our screened porch to sunroom renovation is "officially" complete and we sure have been enjoying it. the quotes are because there are of course minor things that still aren't done...like carpet on the stairs, drapes on the windows cushions on the chairs, but these things will get done in due time. i hope.

anyways here are pics:

there's just enough storage for toys in the bookshelf to the right to keep buxton happy for hours. all he needs are his cars, trucks and trains! baskets make for easy clean up and it's really nice not having a ton of toys downstairs now.

the stairs going up to the play/workout room:

i had to post this pic cause i am getting SO many comments on elin's hair these days. i guess it's growing quickly and right now it tends to stand straight up like she stuck her finger in a light socket!

notice the bright sun and summer clothes. what a teaser that weather was.

another try for pics of both kids. not as good as the last little session we had in january but still pretty good. getting buxton to hold her the right way is quite an achievement.

these are just to make you smile:

and here is what we've been doing in this nasty cold weather. watching movies and eating lots of popcorn!
