Busy Playing...

I posted EVERY SINGLE DAY in November (yay- I survived NaBloPoMo!) and have not posted since.  Boo! I was in quite the little routine of posting every day (although there were definitely days when I struggled to come up with something even remotely interesting to write about) and quickly got out of the habit (it was replaced with daily photos of Bobby, our Elf on the Shelf).

So here's an update of sorts!

We've been busy getting ready for the holidays.... LP and I made salt dough ornaments last week and had a blast cutting them out and then decorating them.....

Kisses!  (Kisses almost always get wiped away now by LP- unless I "kiss him all up" too quickly for him to wipe them all away)

He's very serious about his rolling pin.

And equally serious about paint.

We've also spent a lot of time running around outside since the weather has been unseasonably warm.  LP loves to make up games, play tag, or pretend that we're characters from The Wonder Pets or Backyardigans.  The pine trees become tents that Baby Bear and Mama Bear take naps under.

And sometimes Papa Bear comes out to play too....

I love how LP is Paul's mini-me.  In soo many pictures I have of the two of them together you can see how similar their mannerisms are- check out they way they run!

Love my Baby Bear and Papa Bear!

Checking in....

Thought it was time for a little update on the projects we're working on at Casa LeBaron.   In living room news, our fireplace is almost finished!  The new tile has been grouted (no pictures yet) and all we have left to do is seal the grout and install the new fireplace doors.  Then I have to figure out how I want to style the mantel- I usually just throw a bunch of frames and things up there but am not sure if that's the way I want to go right now...  Here's how it's looking (or, here's how it was looking before we grouted the tile): Below is a close up of how we fixed our cabinet doors.  Originally they were oak with horrible brass hardware.  The panels on each door front was cracked and they were U-G-L-Y.  So we popped out the panels, painted the frames, and used my handy dandy glue gun to inset new panels.  The new panels were made from one sheet of radiator screening that we cut to size and sprayed with oil-rubbed bronze spray paint.  We added new handles and…

11 Days, 2 Parties, 6 Cakes, and 600 Miles...

Phew!  The past two weeks have been pretty hectic and LP and I are just starting to recover! 

We started last weekend with a big bbq bash at our house.  We had about 30 people over (about half were under the age of 3- yikes!) and made a ton of food.  Grillmaster Paul smoked 3 racks of ribs, made pulled pork (which he started smoking at 7 a.m.!), grilled chicken wings, and made all of the various rubs and sauces to go with each.  DELICIOUS. 

Unfortunately, I only got one photo of the whole thing:



A few days later it was Paul's birthday so his parents came over to celebrate over a big meal of Paul's favorite pasta dish.  It's a dish he ate while we were on our honeymoon- the restaurant chef was nice enough to send me the recipe so I could recreate the meal for our first anniversary and it has since become the go-to dish for Paul's birthday every year.  Yummy smoked gouda, pancetta, and artichokes tossed with pasta- delicious!



He blew out 9 candles on his cake (I didn't…

Things to Remember: Eliza Rose, Age 3

Today our sweet little Eliza Rose turns three.  Like all moms, I'm sure, it's hard for me to believe that she's already out of toddler-hood and becoming a preschooler.  It seems as though we were just preparing for her to join our family yesterday and now, of course, it's impossible to imagine what life would be like without Eliza around.


Eliza might be the smallest person in our house but she has the largest personality by far.  Shy in public, she's boisterous and energetic at home- running all over, squealing with excitement, bossing everyone around and trying to take charge at all times. 

She's stubborn and sensitive, sweet and sassy, and over the top spicy.  

At three Eliza's favorite things are her brother, her doggies, mermaids, stories, and princesses.   She loves to play tea party, help in the kitchen and go swimming.    Sometimes she says she's "Eliza BaBaron"- other times she's a "puppy doggy" or a "mermaid with a pi…
