'Reading Rainbow' is no more

I'm really sad about this! 'Reading Rainbow' is coming to an end after 26 years on the air. I have so many memories of that show and my 3 guys sitting STILL for RR -- it was a great showcase for children's lit.
But you don't have to take my word for it . . .

The Living Room's Done!

After a couple of weeks of what feels like non-stop work (and shopping and returns), the living room is finally *almost* completed! With Charlie & Sarah arriving tomorrow, Sarah's mom & stepdad coming on Tuesday and the Gilmore clan coming on Sunday, we REALLY felt the pressure to get it finished this weekend. I felt like I was on 'Design Star' and I could hear people shouting "just 15 more minutes. . ." as we hurried to get the last drop cloth put away and the last picture or pillow in place.

Anyway, I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out (although it still feels like someone else's room). Here are some pics:

Happy Birthday, Charlie!

It seems like I just post birthday greetings on my blog. Perhaps under the sidenote "What I blog about..." I should just put birthdays.

Anyway Charlie, I hope you have a happy, happy day! I love you!
