The weather was great today, even though our beach pictures make it look like we're freezing or something. It was just overcast & it was definitely cooler down by the water...but we were able to eat lunch outside & enjoy much of the day. Kaelyn made her usual mess in the sand, but she had lots of fun. She came home & took a super long nap. She woke up quite unhappy & I'm pretty sure it's because her diaper was literally full of huge, coarse sand. Poor thing. We've been working a whole lot on the house. Barry's parents have been helping us get the yard in order & watch Kaelyn while I paint the kitchen. I finished edging & trimwork today, so hopefully there will be color up in the next day or so. I'll post more pictures as I make progress. Barry has been working his parents to the bone. Our yard looks great - then Barry had Jon clean the gutters out & clean our shed, while Merrily scraped our back door which was rotting. They'll never want to come back!

Even though this is blurry I thought it was cute. Do you like her piggy pajamas?

She has been loving this teddy lately. It's as big as her!

Lazy Saturday morning just hanging out & playing.

Giant baby attacks Gloucester...eats all houses in sight.

Giant baby seems to have a weakness...does not like to get her hands dirty. Could this be her kryptonite? I have no clue how to spell that.

Here's the kitchen before painting, but after patching up many, many holes. Barry loves patching holes & sanding. It's super annoying. Everytime I get this kitchen cleaned up so that Kaelyn won't get into it, he sands more and it spreads this find RED powder everywhere from the walls...step away from the sander or I will seriously hurt you!

I could never remodel a kitchen. I can barely handle this mess for a few days.

Here's what it looks like today after I primed. Looking good. Unfortunately, now we're wondering if we should've picked something lighter. Oh well, color is a good thing. Hopefully.

You'll see there's still red in the other part of the kitchen. I can only handle one half of the kitchen at once. The walls and trim needed too much repair to do it all at the same time. Divide & conquer was our theory.

The other night Kaelyn just went bonkers like she was hopped up on caffeine. She was crawling back & forth at top speed, screaming (happily) & going all crazy baby. I only got a few seconds of it because my camera ran out of batteries. You'll get the idea though.

This was from tonight. She is such a show off. If you keep clapping for her, she'll just keep doing the same thing over & over. She was quite proud of herself for standing up.
