Decor

I might do this in more than one post.  I was only able to upload so many pictures at at time.  We've had lots of questions about our house.  I thought I would share some photos of what we inherited.

Beautiful butterflies on the bathroom wall (a set of three...can you see the dust from where you're sitting?).  It's quite the yellow bathroom - the photo below (yellow shower curtain) is across from the butterfly wall.  
Jacob found this little spot first - he thought it was a bit like the lofts he saw at his cousins' house this summer.  They are actually far from the same idea - but, whatever works.  Yes, they did climb in using the door handles.  Hmm... (One of his requests for a new house was to have a loft in his room.)
The kids' bathroom is VERY YELLOW!
We even have a fireplace.  I think we've used it once.  Better work on that - although, it is gas...so, we'll just try not to think of the money going up in smoke when we use it.
Who can resist wagon wheel lights in the kitchen?  There are two of these beauties hanging over our heads every day.

A Williams Cousin

We have added a cousin or two the last little while on 'my' side of the family (with more to come).  We are thrilled.  But, I do have to say that we are so very excited to have a Williams cousin!  Our kids have been the only grandkids for a decade and they're glad they now have at least one cousin on both sides.
Congrats to Jeff and Dascha!
Callie Mae was born last Thursday.  Our boys were doing a 'Williams cousin dance' in the kitchen last night when we finally had a chance to talk with the proud father.  We've been playing 'phone tag' and were lucky enough to connect last night (after getting updates through messages and happy grandparents). They've been staying at the hospital and a bit concerned about the little one that came early.  But, we're hoping she'll be out of the NICU soon and home where she belongs.
Sorry - no photos yet.
