Visitors - Part II

Since Tim, Gwen, & Allie have been here, we have gone to the Dallas World Aquarium, the Fort Worth Stockyards, Main Street in Grapevine, Fair Park in Dallas, and eaten at way too many places to count. Here are some shots of Allie enjoying her time at the aquarium and just in general.

Mike & Woot

My hubby...he is so silly. He was shopping on Woot again and I ended up with a Dyson. Yes. A Dyson. A DC07, Low Reach, to be precise. It is pretty cool. I had to put it together (it came mostly assembled). Haven't used it yet, I will tomorrow night.

Some info:

• Maintains constant suction ~ Dyson technology uses centrifugal forces to separate the dirt out of the airflow. There's nothing to clog, so a Dyson vacuum cleaner doesn't lose its suction - ever.
• Cleans expelled air ~ The air that comes out of a Dyson is significantly cleaner than the air you breathe.
• Cleans all floor types ~ Dyson is designed to clean all floor types. So your whole house will be clean and not just parts of it.

Visitors

Mike's brother Tim, his wife Gwen, and their 9 month old baby girl, Allie, have been here since last Friday, the 23rd.
She loves her exer-saucer and she is styling with her Cape May hat.
Check out her new teeth.
She is a little cutie pie (her clothing says she is cute, so it must be true).
You can't see them really well in this picture (unless you click on the picture to enlarge it), but take notice of the booties...One has a "Lone Star" and the other as the red and white strip...like the Texas flag. :-)

Beach Room #1

The periwinkle carpet looks good against the tan walls. The futon cover is a beach scene and looks better than I thought with the color of the carpet. Yeah!!!

Kitchen wallpaper

The kitchen still isn't done, but here is an example of the wallpaper. I looks great, so far. There are 'splashes' of blue, green, red, and tan. Looks good with the granite and the cabinets. Once the back-splash tile is in, I will post full kitchen shots.

Texas Dust Storm

Never thought I would ever experience a dust storm, but little did I know that I was ever going to live in Texas. The picture on the right is the sky and air during the dust storm, the picture on the left is about 5 hours later. Amazing. The sky was literally brown. I never saw anything like it, in my life.

Congratulations Melanie and Corey Olsen!!!
