In the Mean Time

Taylor shared her fish stickers... one for the knee of each of her friends... and several for herself. Please note that the baby (one we call "main baby") on the far right of this picture doesn't even have a knee... we had to improvise.

Wonder if she'll help with the windows!

Our little spring break outing wasn't exactly as we planned, but I think it was exactly what the doctor ordered!

We headed to Brenham for some relaxing play time and ended up getting to spend an evening with my cousins kiddo's... here are a few pictures...

The bluebonnets weren't blooming yet... but we'll have to head back to get some annual bluebonnet pictures soon!

My mom's best friend, Cynthia, loves our family SO MUCH.

And what can I say, we love her too!

When I was pregnant with Taylor, she got Taylor several presents... various outfits, blankies, stuffed animals. It seemed that each time I saw her she was delivering something else for her first "grandbaby!"

And at the hospital, she came to visit us and brought an adorable little pink elephant. In fact, the elephant rode with Taylor in her first ride in the baby bed at the hospital (you can catch a glimpse of both Cynthia and the elephant towards the end of the the video of Taylor's first day here!).

Anyway, in the video below, just prior to bedtime, Taylor gives props to Cynthia - sort of - as she plays with the elephant and other animals!

Cynthia, thank you for loving our family so much!

So... a leaky something or other means we now have a new bathroom!

Woohoo!

I didn't take any official before pictures... but after the cream-colored, molded plastic shower wall (ugh.) was removed the picture below was taken. Icky, moldy, wall. We went ahead and replaced pretty much everything in the room... linoleum floor, fixtures, window coverings, toilet, trim... the only things that remained were the tub and the door.

Luckily, with the help of our friend Philip, we put in new tile (shower and floor).

As a side note, the only reason I even started taking pictures of the bathroom was because Taylor was throwing a fit. Her laying on the floor and yelling was pretty entertaining to me, so I started snapping pictures... Hopefully you'll be able to see some of the detail of the room despite my focusing on T in some of the pictures.

Sweet puzzle time with Daddy.
