Intuition

Always worry when your kids are "too" quiet.

I wasn't listening...

Allison found the markers.

Looks like she was "copying" Mommy and putting on makeup - thankfully she didn't get any on the walls or the furniture.
It was hard to keep in the laughter!

Jake's first "hair cut"

OK, I HATE it when newborns get that "mustache" of hair at the base of their head - where the hair rubs off above from sleeping and grows below. So even though my intuition said not too, I TRIED to "trim" the small patch of hair, but instead shaved bald a "step" in his hair. So Ivan had to buzz it all off to correct my mistake.
It doesn't look a bit different to anyone else... so he is STILL a baldy!He didn't mind the hair cut, just hung out with daddy.

Chores

We have to find ways to get household chores done with two little ones... Ivan was a little creative and Allison LOVED IT!!

The house renovations

Of course they are taking longer (and more money) than we wanted, but things are getting done. Here are some updated pictures of the house. Ivan almost has the kitchen cabinet door painted, so those should be up in a week or so. We have ordered granite countertops which should be in in about 8 weeks - can't wait....
