We really enjoyed the opportunity to show our new home off - and the pending arrival of my dad (AKA Mr. Project) really spurred us on to get moving once again. During their visit, they helped us tame our front yard as well as paint the ceiling in our formal dining/living room. Within a week of their departure, Sharon and I finished up the job - and you can see the final results below. We're super excited now that our family room and formal dining/living room are completely done. All that is remaining to finish in the kitchen is the refinishing of the cabinet doors (which may end up being a bigger project than we had hoped).
In addition to the weekend filled with projects, we also had time to have a memorial day cook-out with Sharon's parents, which was also the first that Caleb got to spend time with both sets of grandparents at the same time. Caleb was really excited to spend time with his Nama and Pap-pap, and it was really helpful that he had seen them less than a month before up in PA as well. Seeing Caleb interact with them gets us super excited about our family beach trip to Ocean City, NJ in August - as I know that Caleb will have so much fun there. We actually already bought our plane tickets to fly up for the beach, as my parents' trip down here was a good reminder of how long that drive would be. It is hard to believe that the Summer is in full swing already, as April and May just seemed to fly by. Before we know it, I imagine that August will be upon us and we'll be making final plans for Ocean City.

The paint color we put on the walls is actually called "brown sugar" - though there is a mysterious amount of green tint that comes out depending on the lighting

Wow!! How much did Caleb have to drink prior to that jam-dance session?? That is absolutely hysterical!! Does he take after his dad?? Love and miss you guys.
What a show! Caleb really gets his head into it. He seems to enjoy himself. Pretty soon he will be ready for Utube. So happy to be a part of your world during the Memorial Day weekend. Love, MomK
So he's inherited Mike's taste in music and Sharon's compulsive cleaning??? What's the number for Georgia Child Protective Services???
Two clarifications:
1) Caleb was not drunk - though maybe that grape juice was beginning to ferment :)
2) The Phil Collins was at his grandmother's house, I had no influence on the fact that Caleb has developed an affinity for Phil
