A hint of spring

As many of you know we have a tangerine tree in our house and we are very fortunite to have it bloom twice in the last 6 month. Right now there are about 5 blossoms opened and our back room smells like a tropical island. In a couple of days more will open and the sweet smell can be smelt through the entire first floor. I love to just sit on the couch in the sun and take in the smell. It makes me long for spring even more. If you would like to come for a visit you might just catch the sweet frangrance.

New Pictures

We had family pictures taken after christmas. Here is a small sample.

New Rooms

We have always planned on switching Esther and Henry's rooms. The plan was to finish the basement, before Henry came, then move Esther into the old guest bedroom and Henry into her bedroom. Well the basement took a lot longer than planed so non of the above happened. It has been bothering me for quite some time so, a couple of weeks ago I decided to just get it done. I moved Henry into the new guest bedroom so that we could finish mudding walls and painting. Then Esther was moved into that room. Next Esther's old room was painted blue for Henry. Now all the cute decorations that I purchased months ago are up and everyone is in the correct room. It has been great and such a relief that it is finally done. Esther's room still needs the floor refinished along with our bedroom floor but it has to wait till it is warmer and we can have the windows open all day.
