We're still here, I've just been lost in my mess of a house for the last week because we got new carpet... replacing the carpet in 3 rooms, and the hallway...which means my house was a disaster! Half of our things in the garage, some in the kitchen, & some in the basement. But, it's all done and smells so nice, like new CLEAN carpet smells.
BEFORE... cream carpet

AFTER: new BROWN carpet
I am so looking forward to having carpet that doesn't show EVERYthing
Okay, so I took these "after" pictures of my christmas tree...but you can see the new carpet, kind of. We babysat Paelyn for a few hours the night we put up the tree, and she loved putting up the Christmas tree as much as I did:)

Look how much she loves Christmas... biig smile!
Our jealous dog thought she needed to lay on the blanket too and get a little attention


When I walked into the hospital room her husband Kevin was holding her, and I said, "can you believe you're her daddy?" With out looking away from her he says " she's just soo beautiful" I'm a cryer. You can't say things like that to me. :)
