a little Christmas Eve Canoeing

Back in Virginia with the snow fest before we left.
I miss my little Kelso

Chris took Zur snow riddin'
Back to today! Chris decided it'd be fun to go out on the river that is in his parents back yard. So we did! Zuri loved it until she realized how lame it was that she couldn't move at all. It was a fun little Christmas eve adventure.

Her birthday was great! We just gotta get some photos uploaded from Dad's camera. Until then, Merry Christmas!

Our Kid

Oregon has been an adventure so far. Lots of people which freaked Zuri out at first, but now she is enjoying the attention and lots of shopping...who's loving that? That would be me.

Monday night Chris' mom had a piano recital with her students and Zuri was dancing right along to the Christmas music. She loved it. Rich took this shot and It just makes me happy, our little dancer
Tomorrow is her first birthday!! I can't wait, we're having a lunch/party for her with the fam at a pizza play place (?) never been, but I have heard is spectacular! I'll post photos as soon as I can of our little one year old munchkin.

Merry Christmas!

December so far.

These are just some random videos I've taken the past few weeks. That's all I seem to use my older point and shoot for these days...Hence why I'd like a flip someday.

the main tricks:
Kelso and his lady friend Poe are playing in the end, that's the creepy noise.

She goes crazy for her blueberries for breakfast. I was trying to get her "mmm" sound as she eats them. She appreciates flavor so much.


She sings with Christian. She also took a pretty bad hit into the coffee table. Ouch, It got infected and she had to get some antibiotics since the cut was too close to her eye she couldn't have a cream. It's all healed up nicely now.


She learned to sign thank you and please this week, i'll catch those via video sometime. I am very proud of her good manors.

Meanwhile in between all the filming of these delightful videos life is still cruisin. Chris has finished his senior paper he is now working on the final draft. He wrote another paper today without me typing (I'm very proud) and he has a new job he started this month! He sells fine Italian Linens to Hotels/spas etc. They are actually very nice linens, I would totally buy some if they didn't make you buy in bulk.

I am doomed for my math final Wednesday, but I'm now seeking for divine intervention with an incredible flow of all that i've learned this semester to come crashing back into my brain for the three hours I need it most.

I went to do the second print on my two runs, only to discover I've been compromised and now will have to reprint many many, and by that I mean almost all of my 15 prints. However, through that set back, I've decided I'll do my senior show with Prints this coming semester. Hopefully it turns out better then this edition did.

Finals are done by Friday, I'm helping Brinn shoot a wedding on Friday , Saturday is a prep/clean/laundry and packing day. Sunday it's off to West side!

K and C.

The Kitchen!


Here it is folks. The walls are not painted yet, but this was the biggest of the biggest projects upstairs. Well, I take that back. Christian had redone the two upstairs bathrooms last year...those were big projects too. I just actually helped with this one :)

The very old wall paper...it was gross.
The very old stain. Also very very gross
The overall nasty
Our friends let us borrow their steamer to get the wall paper off. It saved our lives.

Zuri helped too.
Chris sanded EVERYTHING. Poor guy couldn't feel his arms after, but he got a new sander out of it so he was pleased.
Beginning painting
Our Drawer tower
Cabinets all together, painted a beautiful! We love them much much more.


The walls will have to wait until after Christmas break, we are thinking a nice deep green..or a lighter green, not sure yet. I love it all! It's much cleaner and soo much brighter, I keep turning the light on thinking I'm switching it off cause it's so light. Thank you Christian!
I don't know why this underline has happened....and I don't know how to make it stop. Oh well!
