Some updates

A few people have asked why I never posted pictures of the new paint job in the house, and the only answer I have is that I totally forgot. But for those of you who care-here are a few pics. It took forever to get it all done, but we are both pretty happy with how it turned out, and the house feels so much cleaner now...

The chocolate brown wall is our vaulted wall so it goes from the front room to the kitchen area.

Jamie-notice my cute "luggage boxes" on the top? Thanks for those!

The rest of the walls are mostly this color, Stoney Creek from Bennets. In some light it looks grey, some light green, and some just a deep earthy tan. We have loved this color!

I haven't had much to blog about lately because not much has been going on-we are still working on getting Sienna potty trained, and I am ready to just give up and try again later. I don't know if it is that she isn't quite ready, or I'm not quite committed...but we will see. She is getting smarter by the day and it is fairly clear that I have 2 little girls on my hands-and she is no longer a baby! She just wants to do whatever Adyson does, and follows her everywhere, (sorry to my neighbors who have to let her play there when Adyson comes over...)

This seems to be the only time the kid holds still! Don't you love her curly locks?Adyson has been doing really great lately too. She is finally not afraid of going to people's houses, and I can't seem to keep her here ever. I'm starting to wonder why I used to be so worried about her and wanting her to play all the time. I miss her! She is totally excited for pre-school to start, and has already started talking about her favorite school outfits, is she my kid or what? What a lovely outfit she has on!Travis is doing pretty good to. Next Wednesday is his last treatment before his next scan-and then he gets a week or two off-thank goodness! It's always amazing the difference in him when he has a little break.

Scan time for us always brings what we are facing a little closer to home. It seems like we get used to our crazy life and push the cancer clear to the back of our minds, and then scan time comes along and we have to face it all again. I'll be honest when I say that I dread that whole week. I get myself all riled up and ready to face the worst, while I am constantly praying and hoping for the best. (I need more faith!) It is terrifying to wait for the results! That being said, Trav has been feeling a bit better lately and we know we have a lot of people praying for us, and we know that helps! Thanks once again, and I will post more about the scan when the time comes in a few weeks.

As for me, I'm ready for school to start and for a schedule to resume. I'm such a schedule person! Though I know I'm gonna miss her the whole time she is at school, it is just so good for her. I can't wait for all things fall-I'm ready for pumpkin cookies, soup, crunchy leaves, cold air, and Halloween!

Oh and this picture is for Heather, we finally got our new car last night, and I am a bit in love with it! I feel spoiled! Pretty huh?

Note:this is not my actual car, but it looks just like this one. I'm feeling too lazy to go out in the blazing heat and take a picture myself!
