Happenings Lately

We have been up to A LOT the last few weeks, so instead of just writing a huge post about what we've been doing...I just decided to post a bunch of pictures. That's cooler anyway.

This is a new rug we got for our living room. It's hard to tell in the pictures, but it's a deep red/brown/tan long shag rug. We like it a lot. We're putting wood floors down in the living room in the next month or so... so we have been kinda looking for a rug -- and found it!

We painted and laid wood floors in our guest bedroom. FINALLY! Dad and David did all the work and it looks amazing. We painted it a nice pale blue b/c this room will eventually become Cade's bedroom whenever we decide to have another little monster.

Here is Cade "helping" us pull the tape off the wood floors the day after we laid the wood down. He at least thinks he's helping...

We finally painted David's grandma's dining room cabinet. The hardware and doors still aren't put on...but I needed a project break, so this is the state it's in now... We think it looks awesome!

We went to Hot Springs last weekend for a nice, relaxing getaway. It was fun to spend time with Carol and Terry. Cade loved going outside and exploring CONSTANTLY, while David and I got to take in a movie and do some morning mountain biking. We love Cade, but it's great to take some breaks! Cade obviously enjoyed some La-Z-Boy lounging one morning -- in Terry's chair!

Cade's friend Abbie left her bow over at our house one night. Well, I found it the next morning, so I decided to let Cade wear it a while. I thought it was funny. David didn't. :)

This is Cade's new game. Every morning, while I get ready in the bathroom, he is just not happy UNLESS he's in the bathtub throwing everything he can get his hands on into his little bathtub with water in it. I have no idea why this is fun, but he loves it. What we didn't get a picture of was when he climbed into his little bathtub with all the floating paraphernalia in it. It was hilarious... and he was soaked head to toe!

That's all we've got for now! We'll update after the 4th of July with new pictures! God Bless!

What a fantastic update!!! I'm very impressed. I didn't think that you would make a post that would totally redeem yourself from your long absence of posts, however, you have managed. NICE. The bathtub pic was my favorite! :)

So when are you going to come over to my house and start renovations on it? I won't hold my breath, right! I agree w/ steph...love the floors and I really like that hutch thingy - very cool. And maybe for Christmas we can all pitch in and get Cade a man purse. David would love it I'm sure! We need another girls night or lunch or something. I volunteer Kim to plan it - I'll get her started on that!

Hello Williams Family. Well, here it is July 27, & I am enjoying reading about your updates in Duncanville. Of course, it is only a short 70 minute drive to Todd Shepherd's grandparents house at Richland Cahmbers Lake in Kerens, Texas, and Cade would certainly like the outdoors there. We hope you will come to see us. One more thing: you can bring Cade's Cedar Hill grandparents along for the ride, if you want to. :)
Thanks for sharing!!
