Out with the old, in with the new

We've had LOTS of changes this past month.

Kitchen

We finally got rid of our old ugly laminate countertops, and replaced them with beautiful granite!!! I'm so excited about my new kitchen. I couldn't stop starring at it after it was done. I need to send a BIG thanks to my hubby who worked really hard pulling the old countertops off and redoing all the new pluming.

Andrew

We are pleased to announce we have a "new" baby. We finally figured out what was wrong with our poor Drew. He's got problems with regular iron fortified formula, so he's now on a low iron formula. He's doing great, is totally happy, can use the bathroom everyday, and just seems like a new child. He's learned to crawl, pull himself up to furniture, crawl and go back to sitting position all within one week. This past week he mastered crawling all the way up the stairs. Oh boy, I'm in trouble!!

I forgot to mention that when the kids were sick last week Drew got some weird virus that left his body covered in a rash. Here's a graphic picture (that's what mom's are for!)


Drew all proud of himself for standing up next to the couch.


Christopher

Oh, where do I begin?! He's turning 2 this week and seems to have hit his terrible twos. He is getting into EVERYTHING. This past week he spilt toilet bowl cleaner all over my in-laws bathroom, drank toilet water, and finished the week with "drinking" rubbing alcohol. It wasn't so fun having to talk to poison control for the first time. I guess he never really drank it because he didn't show any of the side effects (vomiting and acting drunk).

We had the kids enrolled in swim lessons through the month of May. They both LOVED it, but aren't swimming yet. I never got a picture pf Drew in the pool, but here’s a picture of Christopher.



Car

We sold Cory's Corolla and bought a minivan. It's taking Cory and I a little time to come up with the courage to say we own a minivan, but we actually love all the comfort it brings. Oh, it's a white Kia Sedona.

Wow! What a difference granite countertops make! We will have to talk to you guys more about how much it was and all that. It looks GORGEOUS! I’m glad you got the formula situation figured out. That’s so crazy that it makes such a big difference with their entire being when something like that is a little out of wack. Love the new minivan! I’m a little covetous though, I really want one. No, my back really wants one.
