Beautiful Chaos

That is how I think of my life these days. Between planning the house remodel which has been consuming most of my time lately and striving to keep our current home show worthy clean at all times, life has been a tad bit hectic. But in the midst of it all there has been chaos that has been oh so beautiful. Like the wedding we attended for our friends Terry and Rachael. It was perfectly beautiful in every way. And Colton and Gracie felt very honored to be a part of it. I went camera crazy taking pictures of my little poser while she was hamming it up. All while Colton was running along the beach soaking his pants or in the reception hall drizzling chocolate from the chocolate fountain all over his new white linen shirt. Totally typical!

I told you she is a total ham! She'll say, "Mommy, take this picture" and she'll do a little pose. Too, too much!

Last week the kids enjoyed a fun week of VBS at our church and I spent most of the week there too taking pictures of all the sweet kids. It really helped Gracie start come out of her separation anxiety that she's been going through for the past five months.

Isn't this picture hilarios of Colton and his teeth! I love it!

And thanks to the kids for helping out with the destruction, the house is just about ready to be put back together . Josh just finished knocking all the large stones off the fireplace in preparation for a more modern looking fireplace. The fun is about ready to happen! New windows have been installed throughout the house which made a huge improvement and the wood floors have been ordered. I can't wait to see all of our designing become a reality! I love this stuff!

I'll try and post more house pictures soon as time allows! I have so many projects going on right now that my head is in a whirlwind. I am still working on redoing Gracie's vanity which will be for the new house and I'm also refinishing a mahogany dresser that I'm planning on using for the baby's room. And I need to hurry up and finish redoing the front door that I bought for our new house that is ready to be installed. Then I have another door that is next in line to be refinished. I'm super excited about that one! It's an old dutch door that I bought on craigslist that I'm thinking will be perfect for the entry into the school/play room. I'm trying to hurry up and finish all this so I can start a quilt and curtains that I want to "attempt" for the new little one. 0h and I want to start school again too so we can take time off when we move and when the wee one arrives. Is your head spinning yet, cause mine sure is!
