Home Makeover: Desk Edition (Part 1)
We currently use our third bedroom as a hold all our junk room guest room. That includes a very large, nice corner desk that has lots of work space, drawers & cabinets. When Bill worked at home he used the desk and then I took it over to store all of my scrapbook and crafty things.
In 10 short days we find out if baby Dixon #2 is a boy or a girl and at that point I am sure that I will be anxious to start either decorating a nursery or a big boy room for Will. In preparation of converting the guest room into a kid’s bedroom I started on transferring my craft things downstairs today.
We rearranged our master bedroom a couple of weeks ago to make room for a small desk and Will and I picked up the desk this past weekend. The desk was my great-grandfather’s and that makes it really special to me. I love having things in my house that have history and sentimental value!
The only thing I got accomplished today was bringing all of the stuff downstairs! Seriously, I don’t know how I’m going to organized these things
And I still have more stuff upstairs that I know just aren’t going to fit down here.
Another angle. I don’t know if the white board will make the final cut!
While I was transferring things from upstairs the kid was either following me up and down the steps or playing. Isn’t he the cutest?!?!

2010 Beach Vacation: Part 1
My computer has been acting a little bezerky this week – and this is the first time is has been working well enough to blog post! Frustrating – I see a new computer in my very near future
Thank goodness for Christmas and birthday money that I have been saving in my bedside drawer.
We were really bad picture takers on vacation. We didn’t get the camera out until the last 2 days – therefore there is no evidence that my Dad, Dana and Jonathan were there. You’ll just have to take my word for it!
Family picture in front of the sand dunes. St. Augustine was beautiful – we really enjoyed it there. Not only a great (uncrowded) beach but a great historic downtown area to explore. Did you know it was founded in 1565?
This was the walkway to the beach.
Will really enjoyed the sand! I even caught him eating it a couple of times
He wasn’t too sure of the pool or ocean the first few days but was jumping in and splashing by the end of the week.
Will and Honey picking up seashells.
Most of the time you could find the two of us in the shade.
Will was hard at work in the sand. Every time we would build a castle he would knock it down.
Remember my little man at the beach last year?
It’s amazing how much he has changed in a year!
On Monday, for my Mom’s birthday, we rented bicycles to ride on the beach. It was a lot of fun! We rode on the road from the condo to the beach access (against the wind) and then rode from beach access to beach access on the beach (with the wind.) And amazingly we weren’t sore the next day. Of course we didn’t take a picture – but just imagine the three of us on one of these
