Dress up
My mom is very distressed that my sister and I are neglecting our blogs during her stay here. What can I say? One slightly crazy pregnant woman and her sister, two children, and one poor husband make for an insane house. For the first time in a few weeks J and the kids are sleeping and I am awake, so I thought I would steal a few minutes for a blog update.
Although I don't think Mary and Joseph fought over the shepherds hook.
Johnny has discovered that girls like to dress up, and he kind of likes it too. We came home with some free giant candy cane decorations for Christmas from an antique shop and Lilly knew just what to do. She would be Mary and Johnny would be Joseph.

Happy Day
Jim's brother John came to help us with our house today and brought along his family. Valerie and baby Sage entertained Lilly and I while John worked hard on making things better at our new house.
Of course Sage came dressed in her adorable Penn State cheer outfit, so we had to get some pictures. Lilly loves to hold babies and Sage was the perfect baby to hold. When Johnny came to visit at 14 months Lilly really wanted to hold him, until she realized he weighed more than her and could knock her over with a hug.
(I didn't think about before and after pictures until well after, so here is the big wood frame that housed said 1970's light fixture.)
Here is the new track lighting! We still need to paint the ceiling and fill the holes, but doesn't it look fantastic??
(Again, I didn't really plan out the pictures. Here is our old white fan with gold trim in pieces on the floor)
Here is our new fan which just looks great!
The most exciting project of the day was the garbage disposal John installed into our kitchen. I am very happy.
After the lighting updates I now want to update every single light fixture in the house. John doesn't live with us and we don't feel totally comfortable playing with electricity so that will take some time.
Thank you John!!!! We owe you big time!

While the girls were being cute John and Jim were hard at work making our house better. He took out the 1970's florescent light fixture that hummed out of our kitchen and replaced it with track lighting.

Last Day of Vacation
On the way home from the beach we went to the Air and Space Museum out at Dulles Airport and Harpers Ferry National Historical Park. Both were really fun and very exhausting.
