Old home New look

We decided to move the girls upstairs together and make their old room in to the playroom.  
Pyper's new corner

Bo's half of the room

Loving that she is in the same room as her sister again

We moved the desk at to the top of the stairs

Check Out the new playroom


We also added the frames to the living room too.
We also finally got to painting the stairs white and they look 100 times better.


Now for the runners and print on the stairs, and we will finally have our stair way complete.

Trip to Jon and Susan's

W
We have been planning a trip to see Jon, Susan, Peyton and Scottie since they were here during Christmas break and Pyper's baptism.  We headed out after my last day of the July SIP for my work.  It was a nice change from working all summer long, and before I started the school year again.  Jon and Susan are such amazing hosts and so much fun to be around.  We had so much fun sitting pool side, watching the kids play together, and sending the boys off to Chicago so we could shop and enjoy the kids.  I couldn't have asked for a more relaxing and enjoyable weekend.  Thanks again for your amazing hospitality.

What a great time, we can't wait to see them again soon.

On the way back we stopped In Galena IL at the Chestnut Mountain Resort.  It was well worth the stop.
