What we've been up to

Back in December, we packed up the van and drove 13 hours to Houston for a visit with Aaron's family. While we were there, Jessica dragged us (haha) to Gallery Furniture where we found a table and chairs set that we couldn't part with. She found a new bunkbed and dresser set for her boys. So, our ride home was a little crazy. We had a table, 4 chairs, and a bench on the roof of the van, and our nephew's old bunkbed inside the van. It was a little crowded. The tarp shredded on the drive, and we had to drive slower to get home - making the epic drive across Texas even longer.
The bunkbed needed some TLC, and there were so many things that were more important this spring. But now, life has slowed down. Aaron is almost done with his month on Anesthesiology - a light service, thank goodness - and he's been home a bunch. We've gotten so many of the jobs we've been putting off done. This week, we sanded, stained, and assembled the bunkbed. It looks fantastic. The kids love it!
Audrey gets to be a big girl now. When she wakes up after nap or in the morning, she just gets up - no screaming from her bed. She loves the independance. I love not having to drop everything to go rescue her. :)

How fun- it's great when the little ones feel some independence and you get a little more freedom as well-no more rushing to get her out of the crib:) p.s. you need to post a pic of the table and chairs :)
