I haven't blogged for awhile because J & I continue to spend long hours working on our home renovation project. Last week we had extra incentive to get things done and the house as cleaned up as we possible could because we were expecting Brooklyn and her parents for the weekend.

After opening 17 gallons of paint we have newly repainted walls in the living room, kitchen, dining room, hallway, guest bedroom and all the ceilings! Buckets of water too numerous to count have been used to scrub up white dust from floors, walls and all the woodwork in every room but the living room which is still cluttered with totes of kitchen stuff until the new cupboards are installed. Clean bedding was put out on the guest bed and Brooklyn's crib in anticipation of their arrival and all the last minute work was so worth it to have this little princess in our home once again. On Saturday, Miss Brooklyn wore her cupcake tutu outfit to go out for an early birthday celebration dinner with Grandpa...

and Grandma had to buy her a kitty bath towel for bathtime at our house :)

Still honoring Grandpa for his early birthday celebration she wore her "Grandpa's Girl" shirt and another tutu today.

She is such a joy and we can't believe the different things that she can do now compared to just 3 weeks ago when we saw her last.

With this little girl around no one has to remind me to choose joy...

we love her so much!

Back to home improvement tomorrow but the end is in sight!
