Christmas time

Not all of these pictures are from Christmas and I'm not sure why I don't have pictures of the boys in their Christmas clothes but yeah...it was a crazy time.;)

Aiden turns 6!

Since the boys had so much fun at the aquarium on Patrick's birthday, Aiden requested going to the aquarium for his birthday.  I gotta say, the aquarium here is nothing like the one on the coast in N.C., it kinda felt like the whole building was going to fall apart and I'm not sure all the fish were even healthy or alive BUT the boys loved it and they had an area to feed birds which seemed to be a highlight.  It was good and mainly we were just happy to celebrate one of our favorite little men over here.

Winter time

We came home to visit for the holidays.  It also worked out that our house in N.C. sold while we were gone as well as Jon getting an amazing job that let him work from home again.  So we didn't end up going back, other than to finish packing everything up and drive it all back(Jon and I did that by ourselves).  But here are a few pictures from our time here before all that happened.  It was so refreshing to see snow!

Home Improvements

We did a lot of painting and home improvements to our house in N.C.  My space affects my mood, which affects everyone so something had to be done.;)  Here are some befores:

The house was fine, it just felt a lot like 1990s and had a lot of the same color throughout.  

Here's some pictures after we painted everything, added some new light fixtures, hardware, etc.

I took these pictures when we were getting ready to sell it, but mainly I just wanted to remember what our home in N.C. looked like.  There was a lot of growth and love that happened in that house. :)
