New Couch.........check!











So many of you have heard me complain about our living room with no couch- it's uncommon to have two living rooms, but this house is uncommonly awesome, so we had one that was in need of furniture. Of course you never want to buy expensive furniture for a house you're only renting (hopefully for a minimum of 15 years) but we needed something so we tightened our budget, and got this really pretty gray budget couch. Now our real living room, family room, parlor, whatever you call it, can seat loads of people and baby stuff plus a TV etc. and our fireplace living room is totally legit with it's own little couch chair situation. I know I know, so exciting you can hardly stand it.....I'm being facitious of course, but above are some photo's. I also posted a few of Afton doing her new favorite thing which is walking......well, not quite, but holding on walking, it's all she wants to do all the time, so cute and a learning experience for all the ways 1 year olds try to hurt themselves. I was in heaven last weekend with my Moms in town and it felt like such a dream state that I somehow never even busted out the camera! Thanks Mom for the food, shopping and endless fun, we love you and will find out what station is PBS for your next trip I promise! I think I threw one in of when Justin poofed out Afton's curly fro and one of the.......wow, can I even admit this,......Sketchers! I bought- I can't believe I'm on that level of Mom-ness, but I walk about 6-7 miles a day, so I needed something that can hang and isn't sneakers. I'm embarrassed for myself, although they are the least offensive looking Sketchers I've ever seen. Love you all~!

One year, smiling ear to ear

Afton's party was a dream - I can't believe how many people came! It was seriously so much fun to have the kids go nuts with cake designing, bubble blowing and Benito playing. Obviously Afton LOVED her first chocolate cake (she and I now share a favorite dessert). And I think Julia's lovely pictures really say it all. HAPPY BIRTHDAY GORGEOUS LOVE GIRL!!
