Family picture project

We got some old family pictures a few years ago when E's mom's mom passed away. We didn't have any pictures of E's grandparents in the apartment, and I wanted to do something special with them for E, so I got them professionally framed.

Money saving tidbit, I asked the framing place to use remnants and this came to around $100.

When we recently went to visit E's parents, I decided we should get pictures of E's dad's parents and do a similar frame. Looking through your spouse's old family photos is a blast! It inspired me to take the family photo project to the limit. The second framing has yet to be done, and I'll have to rearrange the bookshelves to make it look just right.

Here's part deux though (I didn't have any before pics of my wall). Pics of E and I's wedding are to the right and then the old fam photos are to the left.

Close-up of the family photos- E as a boy and then his parent's wedding. I have to go home to get some of me as a girl & my parents wedding.

My "vision" is to one day have a wall of photos. I really like the look of all difference kinds of frames though...

Now I just need more space to put more pictures up!



Nats game

Last night was Nats game night with the co-workers. I was a little disappointed that the Phillies Phanatic wasn't there. 

Living with a child

Wed. 7:30pm
Kim: I'm tired and sick. I didn't sleep last night.
E: That's because you're sick.
Kim: I'm not getting any better. I hope it's not the beginnings of something else. I hope I don't have a flesh eating bacteria. I saw it on the Today show, I think it starts with flu-like symptoms. I have these itchy bumps on my leg too.
E: You have a head cold.
Kim: I'm getting on the Internet.
E: Not a good idea.
Kim: Oh god, it could be anything.
E getting up: I'm going to make dinner then.
Kim: I can't eat, only ice cream. Will you bring me some, I'm too tired to get up.
E starts the food processor: Can't hear you.
