Updated House Photos
I know you have all been dying to see photos of the house. we finally painted the upstairs and have been working on getting our things on the wall and finding places for everything. We still need trim along the floors in every room, in addition to a whole list of other things.
The living room is a light sage. The kitchen is a pale blue and the 1/2 wall around the new stairwell is a pale yellow along with the small hallway near the bedrooms.
This is the new stairwell. It was in the middle of the house and if it could not be moved, I was not going to love here (that's how much I hated it.) So, it will have a bamboo ledge to match the bamboo countertops in the kitchen. It will also have a built in long bookshelf where you see all the plants.
Kyle's going to start work on the downstairs this winter (hopefully). It's unfinished right now since we tore all of the carpet out and all of the paneling on the walls will be going too. There ill be an additional bedroom, a small office area, a laundry room, tv room/den and the 2nd bathroom.
Also, here's a picture of Madigan's room. It's been painted since we moved in but I don't know if showed everybody. Her crib is not in here but it's definitely her room. The green is very bold, but very welcoming and warm too. Her room gets western sunlight and makes the green very vibrant during the evening hours.

Big Girl Furniture
I picked up this cute little chair from a garage sale in the beginning of the summer. I just moved it into Madigan's room and more recently into the living room....Need I tell you that she LOVES it. It rocks just enough for her to stay interested and also to practice her balancing skills.
The past couple of weeks have been pretty big weeks for us. Madigan has 4 teeth on top and 2 on the bottom. I think she may have a full mouth by the end of the month. She eats mostly food she can feed herself and isn't very interested in nursing anymore. The last few nights she even slept through the night.
Madigan has also started saying "Dada"- she likes to practice but she also says it whenever Kyle comes home now too. It's very cute.
She's doing great at school and loves it there. I think she is really able to learn and play in a great environment with great teachers and "friends". I'm happy we chose to send her and am also really enjoying working half days 5 days a week.
We bike all over town with her in the bike trailor (oops need to take a photo for y'all to see-i'll try this weekend.)

Madigan's 1st Camping Trip
We took Madigan camping for the 1st time last weekend. It was a lot of fun, but I think next year when she is walking and not so into eating rocks it will be more enjoyable for Kyle and I. we all slept pretty good- Madigan was squeezed between us in the van which is the size of a single bed, and we brought the down comforter as a car camping luxury. The next day we went for a hike and Madigan slept most of the way on my back.
