We're having some exciting times right now.

Abbi's boyfriend, Nic, is coming to visit today. He's from Maryland and we met him and his family at the Live and Learn conference a few years ago. He's going to visit for the next week or so and then go to Live and Learn with us.

We also have the Kream family coming next week. We can't wait to see them, but I hope the mushroom is long gone ;)

And, tomorrow we're going to go over to Poole's Mill Park with the Stonebrakers, Haworths and Rains. We haven't seen Madeline and her family yet since moving down here, so we're super psyched for that!

Here are some bright happy pictures of kids settling into their rooms.

First Kyra and her room. We finished it up last week. The color was 'apple green' but we decided it was dang close to 'Shrek green', which is so OK with Kyra.



Here's the "before".

And "after"

The view from her bed

And Alec in his room. Here he is with his new computer. It's quite the set up, pretty awesome.

We're probably going to start on Abbi's room after the conference. She's going to go with some really pretty purples. We'll post pictures when we're done.

I'll also soon have a recording of the song that she's playing on the piano right now. She continues to amaze us with her playing.
