It was time for a change ...

... of our living room, that is!
We all went to IKEA last Saturday and this is the result: new couch covers, a new rug and a play area for the kids. It looks quite different, but we like it! And the kids think their little storage shelves that double as play tables are cool. There is much less clutter now, and I was SOO ready for that!

Then, Lily finally finally finally cut her first tooth! She hasn't had it easy. She's been teething on and off for many months, being miserable and in pain, but they just never broke through. Now there are four showing through her gums at the top and yesterday the first one actually cut through. I can't feel any bottom ones yet though. It looks like soon she will have the 4 front ones on top and none on the bottom.

Here are a few pictures:

Finn wanted blue couches, but they didn't have many solid colors. This red is pretty bold, but we liked the fabric best (corduroy).

All the clutter is gone, yay! I am considering putting a "No trespassing" sign up.

And this is where the clutter is hiding, thanks to IKEA shelves and plastic boxes.

Doesn't he though?!

Early in the morning, with big brother still asleep, Lily is wasting no time. This is her chance to play with all his toys and no one is going to yank them out of her hands. Eureka!
