ms. mona & 'baby james', as isabella calls him, came to visit with us friday afternoon.  ms. mona was bella's nanny before little james arrived.  can't believe how big he's gotten & he's so quick!  he certainly keeps her very busy.  we've stayed in touch with mona & talk about her often (mona & baby james are in bella's prayers every night).  it's always great to catch up with her & hear about what she's doing.  these pics are adorable, i could just eat him up!!

i started a project this weekend, in between going to the pool & all of the other various activities we have going on here on a daily basis.  i decided to begin painting (freshen up) all of the white paint in my kitchen.  anyone who's seen my kitchen knows that this is a big task.  we have white trim, molding, wainscoting & cabinets & there's a lot of all of it.  white gets dingy over the years & it's been driving me insane for awhile.  i do love to paint (when i'm in the mood), so rather than pay someone i've decided to take it on myself even though it will take awhile (i'm only able to paint during isabella's naps & at night after she's gone to bed).  what i've completed so far looks so much better & is well worth the hard work.  i love the sense of accomplishment & will be thrilled when it's completed. 
i'll keep you updated on my progress . . . happy painting!
