My Personal Papparazzi

So, yes, I've been MIA lately but have good reason. We are getting ready to list our house for sale and hopefully move in the next couple of months a little further north of us to a "newer" home with better schools. We've been busy as worker bees trying to de-clutter (me) and home improvements (marty). A list of a few of the things we've been doing: new countertops in the kitchen, new paint throughout the house (including the ceilings), new tile backsplash in kitchen, till the front and back yards, make new flowerbeds out front, lay sod (this Sunday that will happen), new mailbox, de-clutter, de-clutter, de-clutter, new carpet to come soon, oh yeah, and did I mention de-clutter?!?! So, we've been working on little "projects" during our days off and evenings, so I apologize for being a little out-of-the-loop lately. All this, while trying to keep up our jobs, friendships, and entertain our kiddos too. It's been fun! :)

During these times, we've left the camera handy to take some before and afters, to be posted when all is complete! Well, little miss Madeline found that she wanted to try some picture taking herself. She's surprised me with a few of them, how good they are. I apologize for the scared look on my face...she called my name, and that was me looking over at her! It was funny, so I went ahead and posted it. It's been neat to see life from her point of view. She may have a future in paparazzi...she was pretty quick at pointing and clicking....all the while, calling out everyone's names!!!!! Gees!!

There's a cute one of Marty's mom, "Mimm," and her poor dog, Maggie, who Maddie caught peeking in the window. There's also a few of our friend, Bob, who came over to measure our counter tops. Our poor dogs, Roman and Moses, are often her target too. Moses doesn't like to look at the camera though, so Roman tends to get more pics taken of him. And of course, baby brother is always a favorite target!!! Oh yeah, and the toaster. Nice!
