July Happenings

My Annie Rose turned 5 years old on July 10th! We celebrated by eating dinner at Fazolis (one of our favorite Italian restaurants) and enjoying a strawberry frozen dessert at home.

On July 13th, we dressed up like cows so we could get free meals at Chick Fil A. Yeah...we pretty much are willing to stoop to any level to get free food.

In other news, after a long time of waiting, we finally painted our very white dining room a sunshiney yellow, yesterday evening. It is called butter, and I shouldn't have waited so long. It makes the room feel cottagey and lovely.


Dining Room Before:

(Sorry, I always remember to take a before picture when I am already in the midst of transforming the room. Don't mind my bookshelf, which had already been moved to the middle of the room.)

After:

I just love  how cheery it is! The morning light just pours in this room. I am not much of a decorator, but I do believe a can of paint can make a big difference.

Pregnancy Update:

I am 29 weeks pregnant, today! We are so very excited to meet this little sweetie, in a couple months. He/she is quite the gymnast already. I only have 11 weeks left! That sounded like a long time to me, until I realized that is only 77 days. (7 days x 11) I have filled my above the refrigerator freezer as much as I can, but unfortunately that is only holding about 7 meals. (plus frozen fruit, etc.) I would love to get a small chest freezer to stock with meals for after baby comes. This pregnancy is flying by!

I hope you are all having a very blessed summer!
