This is Chrissy's "new" dresser... it came into our possession 2 1/2 years ago from an estate sale for a whopping $15. It marked time in the shop of our old house, then in a storage unit, and most recently did a stint as a large tool box in our garage at Persimmon Hill. It did not start out so prettily, though. When I bought it, it was puke pink with some kind of western motif barkcloth nailed all over the top with teeny tiny nails. I gave it a bit of a makeover this weekend and voila! Not bad if I do say so myself. If I can't get to Round Top this week, redoing misfit furniture is the next best thing!
Francie is 18-months-old! We celebrated with M&M cookies and ice cream.
Yum!
Francie loves her bottle so much, you would not know she nursed for 16 1/2 months!
Mmmm, toast!
Pete loves him some "Neg-Knock" (as he calls it)
Mac-n-cheese!

What are these strange coverings on my feet?
Jay's brush with celebrity! Melvin Adams, former Harlem Globetrotter and San Antonio Spur gave a motivational speech to all Jr. and Sr. high kids here in town. Jay just had to wait around to meet him... he was funny! He called Jay "Peter Parker" and told him to treat his mom right (yeah!). Can you believe Jay is as tall as a basketball player?!
Our Diaper Drive was a success! We collected over $400 to purchase one case, 30 mega packs, and 40 jumbo packs of diapers for St. Vincent de Paul to distribute to families in need.
