Wilson teaching Miller “Where is Thumbkin” (Pointer, Tall Man, etc.)
Millie was not being the best host to her namesake great-grand parents. Wilson brought her his best Big Car and began telling her all about it and she immediately quit crying! What a great helper! 
. . . severe cases of bed head from sleeping so much So here’s my point of view all day . . .
. . . and it’s one of the best views in the house!

Apparently dads “recover” by playing solitaire on their Blackberry, mom’s recover behind the nurses station and try not to throw up!
Thanks, Uncle John, for playing with Wilson while Miller was born

Here are a few photos from the start of our new year (I’m excluding the one taken of me in the hospital bed Monday when we spent the day waiting to see if I was actually going to get a tax deduction baby. No such luck, and no such picture needs to be flaunted, hospital green does nothing for my skin tone!)
Anywho . . . here’s Wilson enjoying his last few days as an only child. Coloring with his dog by his side, climbing the tree at Granna’s with Daddy, and doing sparklers at Pat-Pat’s. Happy New Year Everyone!
And for those of you counting down with us, Miller Time is officially set for Monday, January 7th at 7:00 am. I’m sure there will be posts at some point next week, but watch your email in boxes for the first info and pictures!
Well, here they are. The first of, hopefully many, before and after pictures of the house. These are of Miller and Wilson’s rooms. They lack new floors and ceiling fixtures, but who knows when we’ll get to that. So here they are 90% complete!
Miller Before:
Miller After:
(her dressing room is actually a pastel celery green, it’s hard to tell with the lighting in there)
Wilson Before:
Wilson After:
He wanted his room to be blue like his train. I talked him into just doing the neon blue in his alcove and a lighter blue everywhere else. As you can tell, it’s still very blue, but he loves it and it’s a great color for a lively preschooler! (We’re also just thrilled to be slowly rising from the sea of purple. Just to give you a taste of before’s yet to come- not only are there purple walls downstairs- there’s also purple trim!)
Lastly- you’ll have to use your imagination here, but we didn’t have a fence. We’re so excited that the builders showed up a couple of days ago and got this much needed project done. If it would just dry up a bit, we’d really be enjoying it. But we’re already thrilled that the dog can go out on his own without one of us attached to him with a leash!
