Closet Makover

Tori gets a closet make over.  This was due mostly to the fact that her closet space was sacrificed for a new return air duct for the furnace / AC that was upgraded this summer.  We went all out.  Daddy spent lots of time building the bulkhead.  Once that was done, daddy could then make all the shelves.  Oh, it is even lit up with new low voltage LED lighting.  I wish my closet was this nice!

Tori is helping out, under supervision of mommy.

Daddy is stuck until Tori moves.  It was a standoff!

Uh oh, that's not a step!  Where is that supervisor?

Daddy was not amused.

All finished and moved back in!

Tori checking it out.  Seems to approve.

Yup, stuffed animal fits!

Happy girl once again!

September Update

Nothing special going on in September, but here are some random pictures taken during the month.

Tori got new boots!

Captain Bubble Beard.

We did convert the crib to a toddler bed.  It has a safety wall to keep her from rolling out.  It works by the way.

She can get in and out on her own now and she does very well with it.

Passed out!

Doing some reading.

Tori looking cute.

Ready to go to daycare!

Tori is showing off her dancing skills.

Ft. Knox visit

Late August Tori and daddy visited mommy while she was at school in Ft. Knox.  We had a great weekend.  We found a great park and spent some quality time out there playing.  What a beautiful day it was.

Running up and down the ramps is fun!

Hello up there!

Look at that hair!  Static is fun!

Still loves to swing.

She really liked trying to walk on the balance beam.

Almost tall enough.

The Family

Congratulations! Caitlin gets married!

Our last stop on our vacation was in Lake Forest, IL.  This was a special stop so we can be with my cousin and family to watch Caitlin get married!  I don't have all the official wedding photo's but I think you will get the idea.  We had a great time and wish her the best on her new journey.
