Ordinary Days

Still her favorite expression, Miss Serious...

A long overdue home improvement project-replacing an ancient slider door.  I was tempted to stop the project here and just ask them to build me a beautiful sunroom right through that entry instead.  Doesn't it look like one just belongs there?

Last weekend, we visited Isaac for Family Weekend.  By the time we finally arrived (after cross country) it was late afternoon and the rain had stopped and it was one of those great autumn days outside.  The university he attends is beautiful (that means lots of trees, foliage and matching classic brick buildings to me) and I tried to snap pictures but Janey wasn't into it...I only was able to get a few.




Isaac really likes college and I'm so happy about that.  He has met great friends and has a busy schedule between classes and work.

  2. Sarah, Janey has amazing expressions! I wish I could give her a kiss right there on her serious little forehead:) She is so darn cute!!!!

    I'm glad Isaac likes college. The campus looks beautiful. It's nice that he's close enough for you all to visit.

    I'm hoping Janey has a good night tonight :))

  5. I love her furrowed brow, and the dimple. So dear!! I'm sooo jealous of all the talk of fall. We live in florida and fall is one season we just don't have. So, I am happy you share pictures!

  8. Aww.. Janey is gorgeous! I love all those smiles you get at that stage.

    I'm that blog follower that lives up here in Monroe... anyway, when I saw the photo of the boys outside Murphy Hall, I recognized it immediately! My sister in-law graduated from that same college in 2009 (I believe). My husband grew up with 5 siblings and all 6 children managed to attend a different Catholic University in the midwest! Isn't it wonderful how there are so many to choose? Of course I'm bias to Notre Dame as that is my husband's alma mater. Anyway, yes, gorgeous campus! My SIL had an awesome time there and met many great friends! Great college choice!

  13. My Lizzie was the serious baby. ( Now, she is my non-stop smiley girl) I would work so hard to get her to show some sort of funny expression like my other baby's did and she gave me the same look every time.

    Love the pictures of Janey! She is just a doll. Love those big round eyes.

  20. She is such a beautiful baby Sarah! I can smell her sweet newborn smell through the computer! I just love that smell and the way it fills every room in the house when you have a baby.

    And YES to the sunroom!! It's not like you have anything else to deal with right now - home renovations - bring it on! ;)
