Christmas

Madeleine & Luke were terribly festive this year. However, this appears to be the only photo I got. I am certain there are more... somewhere, on other peoples phones or cameras, but in all our lives, I didn't take time to hide behind the camera. Thinking back on this, I am going to be a bit more photo happy in the weeks to come - once things settle down. It is literally all I could do to simply get through each day.


Here are Faith and Isabelle in their Christmas Eve PJ's though, Isabelle made a mess of her's an naturally had to change into another while we washed the matching ones. It was fabulous to see how excited Faith was about everything Christmas and therefore, how excited Isabelle was too.


I don't have any Christmas morning shots {read:terrible mother} but the juggling of the twins, feeding them, unwrapping, sorting, stacking, shifting, burping and so forth, left all the remaining time to simply enjoy CHRISTMAS. It was wonderful. Amazing and perfect. Santa was good to our family this year, blessed and blessed beyond our belief!


{place Christmas photos here}
{oops}


Finally, we moved home. January 2nd the trucks dumped it all off {well almost all of it anyway}.
Painters painted on the 1st and the next several days were a mad dash of making the house functional for our family to come home... all of us, together. David and I were up until almost 4 each night, unpacking, prepping and cleaning. Just trying to set up the essentials before the kids got there and then the Baptism part on the 8th.  It was a lot to do, but we chose to do it that way. We decided we could do it, and I am certain we wouldn't have done it the same crazy way again, given the chance

Welcome to our Home - Finally

Pictures from inside our Texas house.... yay! Click on slide show on left

Disclaimers & teasers:
Dining Room: no color on the wall - imagine a rust....a beautiful rug and a gorgeous table we will some day find, fall in love with and afford....

Entry Way: we are debating a color... maybe a steel blue that coordinates with our living room rug

Kitchen: okay, so this is getting there, though I would like to improve a little and add some decoration/nick knacks - I am just so picky and everything has to have a purpose... no pointless pieces for me

Living Room : Niches are naked, just like those in the entry... and we need some serious wall art

Media Room/Man Cave : black trim and pewter walls.... nice, I know and David gets to have 
free reign on decorating this. -Paint will be on the walls after our beach trip - I will re-post when that is done

Master Room/Bath: Um one day this will arrive at the top of the priority list, where we will have a King, to finally fit our family in(let's face it, when Faith crawls in there is little room left for Mommy and colors will all coordinate with bedding.... to be determined later

Study:  manly-man furniture, complete with a real chair are all on the list

Mudroom/half-bath/laundry: colors on the wall, baskets in the mud room slots, and some functional improvements in the laundry room
U-P-S-T-A-I-R-S...

Faith's room/vanity/bath : probably the most put together in the house... can't we just look at these - big girl furniture should arrive in Septemeber-ish

Bedroom/'Jack's room: Since it is a Jack-and-Jill set-up David & Faith like to call this Jack's room, and who knows if it will be pink or blue...

Gameroom: built-in on the wall, some color and well, it's all got to be Faith-friendly

Computer Niche: Mommy's Creative work zone.... yay for scrapbooking

Guest Room/Bath: Hmmm. we are debating making this a little more Texas-themed, in a nice, way for our guest who simply don't get the 'Texas' thing

Workout/Dance Room: No plans, unless David decides to put down some dance floors and some mirrors on the walls for Faith... the two of them dance until the sweat each night before AND after dinner. It's like a dance party for Faith and I love hearing the two of them

Garage: Yes, we have 9 steps from the garage into our house... yes we love it, yes, we have lots of room for storage, but no skills in building storage systems.. oh well

Phew.... Are you as tired as me... yikes.

Coming Soon....

Pictures of the house!!!!! - Because I vow to have it cleaned {read: straightened up} before we leave thus a perfect time to get pictures up

AND

Pictures of Faith's 2 year photo shoot with Carmine, or as she says, "Mr.Carmine, the one who takes pictures."  He did an amazing job and captured so many 'Faith' moments it was hard to choose... but we will share a few soon, once he 'releases' the disk to us :) sorry, I am such a rule follower

Also, get ready, we head to the Outer Banks of North Carolina Sunday which means a huge influx of BEACH PHOTOS and Videos posted to keep Daddy and family in tune with the many adventures of Faith and Mommy, too!

Love to you all!
