Valentine day 2012

Hayden and I decorated his valentine box at school on Mom's Day. While everyone else's boxes were pink and red... He wanted green. So.... we went with it and I stuck on the red hearts.

I have to also show off my nephews valentine box. How cute is the Alligator box!

We wrapped up Valentine day with some playtime at the park since Hayden was cooped up at the office for a few hours. I love his expression here, kinda like a sly, sneaky-face of accomplishment as he climbed up the slide (after we told him to go around).

New door


I've been looking for a new door because our existing door is all banged up and in poor condition (if you look closely). I know the pic doesnt really prove my point... But it is. It's the original door we bought the house with, is a b--tch opening, and the door handle is backwards.

Doors are sooo expensive!  Like $1000 and up...Especially if you have an older home which doesn't have standard sizes you can easily pick up at a big box store... Urg...







I found door at Habitat for Humanity Re-store as a suggestion from Chi Thu for $55! Yeah.

I'm gonna need do some wood filing and sanding... Add some new hardware and this will end a year long search for me. I'll post some final pics later.

This is a pic is Oussie Restaurant in Highland Village with the same door but double.

Westview School

Westview is Hayden's new school. I know it may seem like Steve and I are school nomads... But you can imagine our confusion and frustrations trying to find one that's a good fit for him.

I think we have found the one most appropriate for him at this stage of his life. Yes... We dread the drive and traffic but the feeling when he is here is like "home" and like we are closer to the light at the end of the tunnel. Not to get into too much details (there is a website of the school if you are curious) but Hayden is comfortable and happy here. That says a lot to us especially from a little boy who hates change and new environments.

And so we keep chucking along and hope to get him into public school in 2013.
