XXVI

What a great weekend we had! No work Friday, Saturday, Sunday, half day on Monday! Love it. Most of Friday was spent cleaning and organizing. It was much needed. Chance showed his handy-man skills by making a headboard. From a door! It's awesome. Do you remember Park-ing Day? Or these doors? Well one became an art piece in the patio, and one has become our new headboard. Aww, feels so great to have furniture that didn't cost a fortune, and wasn't a hand me down, sort of... He did so great!


There's green in the bed spread and we painted the canvas a few years back, and blue and yellow were our wedding colors. Aww.



Saturday the birthday boy turned 26. We started the morning with a trip to the park. Love ABQ weather.

26 and still able to play on the slide.



Seriously, such a great weekend. We had lunch at Tucano's, (all you can eat meat, Chance's delight!), dessert with friends, even had a Sunday nap.

Well one door left, and Chance already has plans. Should be pretty awesome. Stay tuned!

I love old doors, what a great idea. We have old windows on our wall. Could Bailey be any cuter in her pink and brown coat? I don't think so. Glad chance had a great birthday with the fam.

Creative props on the door headboard. I may have to copy you. . .Happy Birthday Chance! And to answer your question on my blog. My sister in law made the dress and a handful of ties for Troy. She is an inspiration!

We are way impressed with the headboard - that was very creative Chance! And we're glad you got to eat at Tucanos - that is also one of our favorites. Beth, that cookie tradition is crazy - over 3,000 cookies for the winner! Wow, impressive. And We are so glad you got to go to the Bosque del Apache! It is amazing. We'll have to talk more about it! Have a great day!
