Recently, I decided I would take on the task of organizing our home. I am getting there slowly, but surely. The first (almost) completed project on my organizing to do list is my home office. I say almost because I still need to polyurethane the desk and put the new knobs on it. Other than that, it's completed and I couldn't wait to take pictures of it and share it! :) It was also great lighting this morning with the sun coming in through the windows, so I grabbed my camera and started shooting. I should also mention, we are almost done with a complete mudroom makeover, so stay tuned for a Mudroom Tour post! :) First, I'll show you the old desk area (picture taken June 2010). We inherited this desk from Michael's sister Laura and I painted it white and spray painted the knobs yellow (to match the chair, duh!). It's so funny looking back at old pictures of how I used to decorate and seeing how I've evolved as I have learned more of what I like. Anyways, ...

Wowza Mason is so big now! Time flies when you're having fun :)

This past weekend we went to Massachusetts for my cousin Lisa's wedding. We went over on Friday to visit my Grandma and she finally met Mason! :) My Auntie Barbara came over too which was awesome! Here we are all around the dinner table just chatting and laughing... Bo the dog, he's such a big boy! On to the wedding...I took a few pictures with my cell phone camera at the ceremony (not very good quality). Once we got to the reception we had our camera for a little while and took some family photos since we were all dressed up! (we forgot to at the baptism) Airplane! Me and my cousin George! Favorite picture! (click on it to see it really big) Lisa and Jared's first dance. The song they chose was sooooo beautiful! I loved how the barn was decorated. SO pretty! I wish I could have taken more photos, but with Mason it's hard. Can't wait to see her professional pix! That's it for this post!...

Last week I tried to sit Mason up to play with his toys to see how long he'd be able to sit up on his own and he sat up for the whole time without falling over! I was so surprised and now he does it all the time! He's growing up to fast and he's so smart, it makes us proud. :) Meal time is sometimes a struggle. Mason won't want to eat and he'll shut his mouth and won't let any food in, which then gets all over his face. Here's the end result... You can see his two teeth in this pic!
