A New Look

Lydia has lived with plain white painted walls for her 5 years of life.  Plus her room still had remnants of what it was before she was born--storing DVD shelves, and a huge picture of the Beatles hanging on the wall.  We finally had the chance to turn it into a girly room, all her own.  Here are some pictures of a semi-completed project.  Next week I will paint her doors, a bookshelf, and some art to hang on her wall.

With flash.  It makes the colors seem unrealistically bright, but it shows the color wash better.

Going, Going, Gone


We have just experienced over a 100° shift in temperature, from last week to this (-35° in Bartlesville to 70s° all over the area). Between February 1st and 9th we saw 20+ inches of snow fall, shutting schools down for 10 full days! Now it is practically flip-flop weather. I even had to run my A/C for a bit today (I think it got up to about 78°!). I am ready for spring, but you never know, we could have more snow in March. That's Oklahoma for ya'!
