Paint, Paint, and More Paint

 This past weekend, Harry and I painted another room in our house... the office. We painted it the same color as our living room/kitchen accent wall and I LOVE how it turned out.














The view from the dining room/entry way. 


Alaina sneaked in for a picture. 

Alaina loves to watch the construction across the street from the window. 

While I'm posting about paint, I figured I would share the color we painted the living room, dining room, and entry way. We love the accent wall, but we think the brown is a little too dark. We were going for more of a tan and this just wasn't what we were expecting. We may end up painting it a bit lighter in the future.

Spending Time with Grandma and Grandpa

This past weekend Harry, Alaina, and I headed to south Charlotte to spend some time with Harry's parents. We stopped for lunch at Pinky's Westside Grill on the way and our picky little eater ate fried pickles for the first time!


Then, it was off to Grandma and Grandpa's farm. 

 
















Alaina must have had a great time, because she fell asleep on the car ride home less than a mile from their house.


On an unrelated note, I made a chicken pot pie for dinner and it turned out so pretty I had to take a picture! It was as good as it looks.

Park Time

It was a beautiful day in Charlotte so we took Alaina to one of our neighborhood parks to play after work. She had a blast and came home one tired baby.

All Alaina

Alaina was just too cute today for us not to take a lot of pictures and share them with you. 

First, check out her newest trick...
 Alaina now plugs her ears to stop sound. She LOVES to do this while eating. She started doing this earlier in the week and I would say her name and she would laugh. It's really cute, now; we'll see how we feel about it when she starts plugging her ears when we need her to listen.

Then, just after dinner, Harry and Alaina had daddy/daughter hair salon time. I put Alaina's hair in a pony tail after her second nap, but Alaina and Harry decided that hair bows were also needed. This is what they did...

Alaina and Tank

Alaina has always loved dogs. Her first loves were Jasmine (Jazzy) and Frannie at her first nanny's house. She has found a new puppy love at her new nanny's house... Tank. Here they are hanging out together.



Tank is pretty taken with Alaina, too. He waits for her at the door each morning and walks her out in the afternoon (I think it's because she brings him crackers every day).
