Living without renovation...

While Shawn was renovating the living room, dining room and the sunroom (the last is not quite done, pics later), the kids and I stayed at my Mom and Tom's condo for three weeks to avoid the renovation mess (they were in Italy). We spent a looottt of time together, the three of us, at the Aquarium, Discovery Park, and everywhere in between (and lots of driving at nap time)! Thanks Mom and Tom for giving Andy, Sylvia and I a place to stay and the chance to renovate without having to live IN the renovation. Shawn, of course, did indeed live and breath (and live IN) the house while he did all the work too. What a man!

Watching the State of the Union

(every night after this Andy would ask me to "turn on Barack Obama."
