Bits & Pieces from the life of Ada

Updates on our life...

Our house is under construction and we get to move in a few weeks!

Here is the living room last week.
Branden is putting in the new windows!
They look great!

This is the dinning room. This is the front of the house...and Branden's big truck.

On Friday we went to Noah's Ark at the Skirball Center in LA. Grandma Judy and my friend Kim came along.
Kim was my youth group leader when I was in middle school.
Now that she is retired, we hang out together every Friday.

Ada also likes when we wrap her up.

Sometimes life is just hard.
You don't always get what you want.

Everything in one post...

Here is the low down on some of the stuff we have been up to....

This is the cute place Paul stayed in England last week.
It is so old that it would be a museum in California.
Paul got to have a curry and beer with an old friend...and talk about math or something fun like that. :)
Paul & Matt.
The newlyweds came to visit us for the weekend. It was so good to see Ruth and Dave and catch up on life and hear about their amazing honeymoon to the Cook Islands.
Paul and Dave...almost twins.
The newlyweds.
Oh! Have I forgotten to mention that we bought a house? Do you want to see photos? Haha!!!
Here is the kitchen. It is nice and big, but needs some work.
This is what I wish my kitchen looked like!
Welcome! Ada would love to show you around. She especially likes to turn the lights on and off.
The living room.

We put bubbles on our heads in the bath. It was so funny!!!
We worked on cutting and pasting while making a few Valentines.

Our neighbor made us some yummy vegan chocolate cupcakes!
There is tofu in the frosting!
They were amazing!

We went to Grandma Judy's church one day and the preschool was having their annual Snow/Sledding Day! We got to join in!
As you can see, Ada was dressed appropriately.
We went shopping for appliances.

Very nice.
