Is my little baby boy trying to tell me something???

A couple of weeks ago I was folding laundry while Sam was playing. I turned around to find this.

I know he has a few years before he goes off to school but I don't know if I'll be ready.
I got these boots for Sam a few weeks ago on clearance at Target and was really excited for them to get some real use today. Sam was not so sure at first about being out in the rain but after a few minutes he was jumping in puddles and playing cars in the puddles.

He's gonna be a soccer player!!!


In Richmond there is an indoor soccer gym where you can start your kids, on a team, at 18 mos. This was Sam's second time and he really likes it. The first week we couldn't get him to put down the soccer ball. He held one the entire time but still managed to kick a few others. Today he did really well and even scored a few goals. It was so fun watching him play and get so excited about the "ball" (one of the few words he says). I love that he has a uniform. We bought him new shoes for it which he fell in love with the moment he saw them because they have a car that lights up on them. (He is totally obsessed with cars right now.)
Hanging out.
Water break.

The long awaited house pictures

Hey thanks everyone for your comments on the "nursery troubles". I stayed in nursery with Sam this last Sunday and after several times of reassuring him that I was going to stay in there with him and a few minutes of sitting on my lap he was ready to play. He did great so we'll see how next week goes.

Here's a few pictures of our house. I still don't have my computer up and running so I don't have any of the before pictures so I'll hold off on showing the kitchen for a little while longer. We only painted the living room. We'll probably eventually paint the dining room but not for a while.
This is our family/living room. It started out a yellowish color that didn't really work for us. Jared was so proud that he was able to put a hole in the wall to run the tv cables down to the cable box and dvd player so we didn't have them showing or something to hide the cables. When we move we'll have to cover up the big holes. I think it does look good though. We were afraid the paint color was going to be too dark but it has grown on me since painting.
This is another view of the living room going into the music room. Sam loves playing with the door.
This is the music room which is supposed to be a living room but we don't have enough furniture to fill it so we turned it into our music room.
This is the formal dining room. We also have an eat-in kitchen but we only have one table so our kitchen has a lot of space right now. Eventually I want to paint the dining room red but we still have some other projects that I need to start and finish before I think about this one.
