And the painting begins

We (meaning Jamison and our dads) have been working hard these past two weekends on stripping, priming, adding soffits, caulking, and painting our house.

Here is the before.  I will show more once we are done and have after shots.

Priming

Painting

And while they worked hard, Emmery got to visit with her cousins :-)

 20 weeks old.  Grandma Jean did the chalkboard and created gorgeous flowers!

She got a bunch of cute outfits (including the one in her 20 week old picture) from Beth and Peter.  So, we had fun doing a photo shoot:

Jamison thought this was just her pose when she was ready for a diaper change- I had to explain to him that she was just showing off her "happy baby" yoga pose she learned at school this week :-)

 Feeling Grandpa's whiskers

The girl has loved her baths since she was born, so I figured she would love the pool...

But she hated it and cried for at least 20 minutes after we got out of the pool!  And then she cried again last night when I tried to give her a bath :-(  See how mad she is at me in this picture

 And for her big 21, we took "Back to school" shots while reading her princess book.  This chalkboard was done by Grandma Debbie.
