Dear Little "T-Bird", Mr Thatcy-do, Mr. T, Thatch,

Not quite sure how this happened, I have no explanation, no idea how you are possibly turning two next week. It seems like yesterday that we saw your beautiful face for the first time. You were such a perfect little guy on the day you were born. And when Linden came to the hospital to meet you (in her Dr. garb) you were spoiled with love and the thought of a baby brother was so wonderful to little Lu. Now, two years later, you guys are best buds and she makes sure you are not getting into too much trouble.
You are OBSESSED with helicopters and fire trucks- when you see them it's instant gleefull screams and giant brown eyes filled with sheer JOY! Your first word this year was "car" and now you can say "Happy birthday to you!" You have FILLED our dreams of a family and complete us. It has'nt been easy- by any stretch, but we love you so very much.
You're dance moves and squats are hilarious and we can always count on some great facial expressions throughout the day. You will eat almost anything and your favorite morning ritual is getting a "gummy vitamin" and sharing with Linden of course.

Thank you for the past couple years- we love you. Can't wait to see what this year will bring. Happy Birthday Thatcher!

before and after

when we moved to Arnold Way we shoved everything in the office ans it started accumulating over the past 4 years. and we never painted it or thought about it.
Then, for Father's day, Linden and I thought we should paint it and make it really nice for Hammy to work from home. Here are the "before" pics-
look at my lil' painter!

....and the "after".
Hammy loves it!

I made these little clipboards for notes, photos, invites, etc...

craft corner

now we have His and hers desks- I am on one side and Hammy on the other- it's great!
Thanks to my neighbors for helping me pull it off without Hammy's help!
