The Stairs-Continued

Here are the after pics

The Stairs

One of the first major renovation projects dad has done in the new house...

Say Hi Meggie!

 It was our plain old halfwall staircase that we knew.... okay... I KNEW... dad had to get to work on immediately.

It cost a pretty penny but was very well worth it.

One day, these stairs will have wood instead of carpet on them. The look I'm trying to achieve for the house is rustic, traditional farmhouse. I'll post the after pics soon. Stay tuned.

Note: 

Before we moved in, our PC took a dump. Then the kids broke the ancient laptop we were relying on for our everyday use. Daddy just got a new laptop and I haven't bribed my computer smart brother yet to install all the fancy gadgets on it, including Photoshop! So... until then.... you'll have to put up with my ugly so-so pics.

LA County Fair

During the last week of the la county fair, we managed to find time for some fair food n fun.

Megan starts preschool

I recently got a new smartphone! Didn't know what i was missing!!! I now get to blog from my phone while waiting for the stoplight to turn green!!! Or from the gas pump like i'm doing now! Megan started preschool 2 weeks ago and I didn't want to forget to show u her pics from her 1st day.

We have a zoo!!!

Elizabeth gets her pet chinchilla. She named him HARRY STYLES after her boy crush in the band 1 DIRECTION. Gotta admit, he is kinda cute.
