Break

Rob is offically in his second year of medical school (only 8 more to go)!!!! He got a week long break after finals and I wanted to show you some of the things we did. We were origionally planning a trip down to Branson, MO with some friends, but Hurricane Gustav hit and the weather was going to be bad. Instead, we went with a few families to Long Branch State Park--about 30 minutes from Kirksville, where the kids got to watch their daddys fish and set up camp. It was great fun and the kids loved it! Ty has never slept so well--a natural mountain man. I made the mistake of sleeping between the boys (both are bed hogs, as you see) so on one of my many moments of being awoken by stray arms, I took this sweet picture. When we first moved into our ghetto apartment in Michigan, the previous tenant had left a couch and this little end table. We kept them both because we had no furniture, really. Well, after 6 years, we finally decided to refinish it. We were kind of impatient, so it is a little two-toned, but we figure that is trendy now anyway.

Wow! It looks gorgeous! It sounds like you had a fun break (they are always too short). Your boys look adorable all sprawled out and sleeping. Kids are so sweet!

This looks amazing. That is quite a talent. I wish I had time to try my hand at refinishing furniture. Maybe one day. You're my inspiration.

I can't believe that is the same table! You guys did a great job.

Also, that picture of the two boys is quite adorable. Ty is getting so large already!

Your apartment wasn't ghetto! You should see what I'm living in right now. It's about the size of your old living room....seriously. it's funny when Jay and I are both in the "kitchen"we have to like dance to move around. It's quite pathetic... (it's really just the area with the wimpy sink and stove)...which is the same size as the one you had in Michigan...you know...the kind where a REAL sized pan won't fit in it....
