Finished...well, almost

So our table is finally useable! It took a lot of hard work from Kevin and I but it was worth it! We are currently using the old table top with a table cloth to disguise the ugliness. Hopefully we can get the new table top made soon and be completely done with this project.

Trunk or Treat!

Luke's first Halloween was celebrated by going to Kevin's family wards Trunk or Treat. While at target we let him pick his costume and we thought it very appropriate that he picked the Monkey costume, we call him our little monkey and he loves all his monkey toys!
He had a lot of fun taking in the sights of all the costumes and the Halloween decor. It was a fun night had by all!

Luke Monster: 8 months...going on 9 (already?!?)

Luke has been so much fun lately, not that he wasn't before. He can army crawl and on occasion does a normal crawl. He's bigger then ever, a month ago we weighed him and he was 20 lbs...which means by now he's most likely closer to 25 lbs. We all survived the first stages of teething, Luke has his two centrals on the bottom. He loves eating broccoli (didn't get that from me), sweet potatos, summer squash and bananas. His most recent discovery happened earlier this week...he has found out he has a tongue and loves sticking it out. He gets so happy when Kevin comes home from school, he loves his daddy!

Project Table

I've been complaining that we don't have anywhere to eat when we invite people over (not like we entertain often). So for my birthday Kevin bought me an amazing antique table. Its been a long term project with work, Kevin's school schedule, and of course Luke. When we baught the table someone had painted it white, because its solid wood we wanted the original beauty to come out. Finally, we got done with stripping all the old nastiness off this week! Below are the before and after shots.

To complete the table we have to build a new top for it and stain it. Woo Hoo for finally being one step closer to completion.
When we baught the table it didn't come with chairs, but thanks to a neighbors yard sale and $5 we are the proud owners of 4 chairs. After some black spray paint and a trip to Hobby Lobby for some fabric and a quick lesson from Kevins' mom on reupholstering- we have cute chairs! Another before and after picture below.
