More house

Here Arya is testing out the new carpet and then masked up so she can get to work.

Easter Egg Hunt

Grandma Debbie and Grandpa Mike had an Easter Egg Hunt for Arya.

Announcement

Soon you will notice a change to the settings of photos. That's because we bought a new house!!!!
We closed last Monday, but won't be moving until late this month. Our goal is to be all moved in by my birthday (May 3).
Right now we are working on remodeling -painting all the rooms, refinishing the hard wood floor on the main floor and getting new carpet in the downstairs. Also, we're having the driveway redone and a huge tree removed from the backyard.
Arya LOVES the new house. She likes hearing her feet as she runs across the wood floor. Right now the house is so empty that she has PLENTY of room to run. There is a fenced in backyard with a playset- this was a MAJOR point in making me like this house (the 2 fireplaces were too). Arya also seems to enjoy walking down the sidewalk. I don't really understand her fascination with it, but we don't have a sidewalk in our current neighborhood. And-the house is less than a mile from the library!!!

 Here is the house! Bradley is taking down the for sale sign.

(Sorry it's so out of focus. I was far away so I wouldn't wake her.)

Bradley working so hard. He is doing most of the work all by himself.

Arya playing in her new playroom.

Arya was excited when it was finally nice enough (and most the snow was gone) for her to play on her new swingset. The only problem now is making sure she stops trying to go out unsupervised when we're doing other things.

Chocolate

Arya loves "Choc" (Chocolate)! So, naturally, her chocolate bunny was the item in her Easter basket that she was most excited about. As Daddy and I worked on food to take to Easter dinner, Arya watched Curious George. She got the boxed chocolate bunny and tried to open it (without our knowledge). She succeeded and this is what we found:

So into the bath tub she went:

Arya got the chocolate ALL over her pretty Easter dress. Luckily, I was able to get it all out in the laundry. I had to spray, scrub, soak and then run through the washer twice!
