New paint!

Since my mom moved up to Sequim I thought I would take advantage of some of the space by repainting rooms and moving furniture. This is Erik's old room and it was very very green. I fogot to take a picture before we removed the top strip of wallpaper. It had jungle cats on it.

I wanted to make the room a good room for guests and since my mom left her queen size bed here I decided to put the bed up in this room. Of course Kent always ends up having to do most of the work......When we first started painting I really didn't like the colors I had picked out but in the end it turned out really good. The bed is pretty big in the room but it will be nice for people to have a large bed to sleep on.

Now we have 2 rooms set up with beds!

Family visits

One of Kent's cousins, Agneta, and her husband came for a visit last weekend. It was so much fun because Jennie & Sophie were already here and then Kent's 2 sisters came over also. We had such a great evening with everyone.


Agenta and Valter went to Florida first and then came to Washington. Donna, Laif and Ann showed them around in Seattle, Sequim area and Victoria. They went down to Chehalis to see Janet and her family.

It was so fun to have Janet, her 2 daughters and some of her grandchildren!

This is a great shot of the four siblings.

Of course Sophie has to be the center of attention.

Everyone enjoyed just sitting around visiting and catching up with each other.

Mark & Janet sharing great times.

Jennie & Agneta enjoyed getting to know each other.

Girls everywhere!

Lots of guys too!

The Joy of Sophie

I love that Sophie has such unbridled laughter!

Sophie & Jennie came up to visit last weekend. We had several fun events over the weekend. Sophie loved playing the piano and singing at the same time. She would sit at the piano and sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star! It was great.

Sophie has a great laugh and often makes herself laugh just for attention.

Looks like she went to the zoo but it's actually her great-grandma's bed.
