It has been awhile, I just can't quite get the design of this blog to come easy, I can't get my birdie thing centered but I am trying. I do have a couple of random photos to show. I have at least been taking photos each month for another yearly album for 2010 but I haven't zeroed in on an album yet so hope to do that soon, I want to be able to keep up and do a couple of months worth of layouts at a time.
Here is something that most of you have never seen except those of you who live here. These are a recent addition around town, the downside is that they all lead to the same road! As you know due to the earthquake in Chile we had tsunami alerts all up and down the Pacific coast, we did have a surge here for a few hours but it wasn't anything to be alarmed about. We never want to see the real thing!
This cute bowl had to come home with me from Crate and Barrell. It was an incentive for me to eat cereal for breakfast instead of cookies although I am sure it would look nice filled with cookies! It says Breakfast.
Let's see, how about some art. Who changes their art all the time? That would be me! I had been looking for something like this for the fireplace to tie in the colors of the decor but couldn't find it so I had two rectangular matching canvas' from Target that I hung side by side after flipping one over that were these same colors but in a geometrical design. The color was right and they were okay but I was thrilled to be browsing Home Goods one day and come across this perfect one. It brightens up the space and is the perfect colors and size. I split up the two others and hung one at the bottom and one at the top of the stairs! Can't beat the prices at Home Goods, I had seen similar ones in catalogs at 4 times what I paid for this one. I keep wishing Candice from HGTV would stop by and give me an idea for what to do to modernize the fireplace but I can't get my brain around getting rid of the brick! Hmmm.....evil thoughts!
I hope I haven't posted this pic before and apologize if I have but I just love the boys' favorite method of transportation at IKEA, they just perch in these and they are good to go!
The newest and most exciting thing going on around here is Alex's new BAHA hearing aide. It is a bone conduction hearing aide attached to a snap imbedded in his skull, yeah, I know, it required two surgeries but we are seeing a change already and it will be a matter of him figuring out how to process all this sudden new information. This kid is smarter than all the adults involved and always knows the proper timing for handling his issues! We have high hopes that this will open up a whole new world for him.
I will try to be a better blogger and share more goodies more often!
