Officially Texans...

that's right! We have our new Texas drivers licenses and tags so people will stop staring at the MS car at all the stoplights. We are getting settled, still painting, and exploring our new community...which I'm loving more everyday. Today we had a tour of our new church and Kinsley's pre-school. We also walked to our neighborhood park and found the community pool. Everyone is adjusting surprisingly well except for maybe the dog. Here's a few pics from the past week as well as some before and afters of the house. (FYI Kristy, we bought a 5 gallons of primer and I feel quite confident that we will use at least that much by the time that we're done!) Oh and thanks Mimi for the new camera! I'm loving it!

Hanging out in the Playroom

Kinsley has already learned to swim and is getting better everyday!

Colby playing "house" in his floaties!

Okay, so here is Colby's room before. I can't believe I don't have a picture of the wall opposite of this one...it had a HUGE mural of a baseball glove.

Colby's room now. We still have to hang pictures and decorate.

Kinsley's room before. She requested a pink room so covering this brown was a job. Two coats of primer and three coats of paint!

K's pink room now with her new daybed.

The kids bathroom before. This picture can't fully justify how bad this was. We had to repaint the bead board, trim, doors, everything. I'm thinking of painting the cabinets next.

Now

One of my favorite parts are the kids personalized towels.

Tomorrow I will try to post an update on another bathroom that we are almost finished with.  The before is great. Imagine a faux brick mural with a faux window above the toilet...Stay tuned!
