Since Monica is being a lazy bum and not posting, I'll just post strange things I find on the internets.

More painting

Carlos did a little more painting this weekend. We decided to paint the breakfast room. Here is the before picture:
After: I look forward to getting curtains for the windows. I think it will look great!
It also decided to snow today! Woooo! Finally! Here is the before picture:
And after:
We've already gotten several inches! Carlos is really going to enjoy shoveling the driveway. Poor kid.

Painting

First of all, I would like to congratulate you, Antonio, on the adoption of your new baby. She is beautiful and I am sure will bring you much joy.

Carlos finished painting the kitchen and family room this weekend. He started last weekend, but I didn't want to post half-finished work. Here are some before and after shots:

And after:

I really like how it turned out. I love the contrast of the white molding. He will be painting the breakfast room next.

Carlos, the girls and I have discovered a television series that we absolutely love.....here is a picture of our new heroes:
The series is called "Firefly". Yes, we are sci-fi geeks! Unfortunately, the series was canceled after just one season. What a huge disappointment! The writing is very clever and we are enjoying this show immensely. I hope they revive it someday.

I have work tomorrow. Ugh. Poor me! Carlos is taking the girls to the mall tomorrow. What a guy!

Have a nice week everyone!

Love you.

I'm A Daddy!

 

And here is my new baby. Isn't she cute?

A Clear View Into the Future

In the war between Blu-Ray and HD-DVD, I think a clear wiener is about to rise.

I hate it when I see something like this: someone with a brand new (expensive) car, taking up more than one space because they are afraid some poor schmuck (how dare they) will need to, I don't know, PARK NEXT TO THEM!

I believe this person got what they deserve. Click on the picture for a larger view.

Christmas and other news

First off, here are some pictures from Christmas:

Christmas Photos

I hope your Christmas was as nice as ours. We are a goofy bunch and always have a lot of fun. A few days later we went to Virginia Beach for New Years. I will post those pictures in a few days.

Things are well with us. Carlos is working hard and is in the middle of budget season. That comes with challenges, but he always seems to pull everything together and do a great job.

I am still employed with Harris Teeter. The job is a little boring, but I am happy with how flexible they are with my schedule. It is nice to have fun money and we are going to start painting our house. I am very excited about that!

The girls are doing very well. They stay busy with school and their activities. I would like to see Amanda make more friends as this last move has been very difficult for her. I hope that she can adjust and settle in. It seems like whenever we do get settled, our life changes and we move again. I don't really want to move, but I am not feeling too anchored here yet either. I guess time will tell. It has only been 6 months. This year I am going to try to volunteer more with the schools and church and hope to make friends that way.

Well, I have more to do, but my love goes out to all of you. I hope you had a wonderful holiday season and have an excellent year to come!

Love you!
