Have you ever painted stucco??  It is hard!  I am so thankful Jim was here to do all the painting.  He did a fantastic job!  I know we will have years of enjoyment in our new room.

Visit With Theo

We had the privilege of spending three days in Chicago, IL with Theo and his parents.  While we were there we did a little shopping, sewing, eating, and sleeping.

Here are a few pictures that I took along the way.

 Thumb sucker!

 SO  VERY  PRECIOUS!

 Double Vision!

The Schlie Family

 I sewed loops onto towels so they could hang on pegs in the bathroom.

Kyle installed a curtain rod for the living room window.  I hemmed a bed sheet to make curtains to hang from the newly installed curtain rod.

Kermit traveled from Palm Harbor, FL to Chicago, IL & now resides under this flower pot.

Hanging out with Roxanne! 

She enjoyed being spoiled with extra walks with Grandma & Grandpa Schlie.

Kyle & Shannon's apartment decor!

Theo Schlie Arrives!

Our grandson, Theodore (Theo) Harrison Schlie, was born at 2:53 am on Monday, April 16, 2012.

I have "seen" him on a skype call, but I can't wait to see & hold him in person.

Proud Mom, Dad, and baby are doing fine!

SPECIAL LUNCH WITH MY MOM & SISTERS

Lunch with my mom & sisters at the Bon Apetit in Dunedin, Florida.
