Yay Baby!

In case you haven't heard, Summer had Sameenah Joy Olaes on 9/11.

She was 7 lbs, 9 oz and 19.5 inches long.

Here's a gallery to check out.

House projects - redux

Saturday, September 6, 2008

So we're getting ready for phase two of the house remodeling. Once Summer pops the kid out, we'll be back on track for the new updates.

If you have a Facebook profile, add me: Terry Olaes. There's a pic of Summer about 8 mos pregnant in my profile photo album. :)

Here's what's coming in phase deux:

1. New fence
2. New Tuff-Shed
3. Repaint upstairs (bye bye Egyptian-looking splatter art)
4. Remove carpet on stairs and master bath
5. Install tile in master bath
6. Remove stair rails and replace with wrought iron.
7. Install travertine on stairs and finish with wood.

I think that's it. Might do some backyard stuff too. We'll see.

As always, pics will come when the projects start. We anticipate the fence to be first and that'll start in a couple weeks.

Edit: Here's the link to the photo I mentioned above. Let me know if you can't see it.

We need a preggers pic!

Summer's still got 3 months to go but this is the biggest I can recall her belly being at this stage. We're just coming into the [sarcasm]wonderful[/sarcasm] summer here in TX and it's been a steady 95-98 with 50+% humidity. Lovely. If it's not muggy, it stormin'. At least EVERYONE getting a nice glistening when they're out and about.

But back to my pregnant wife; I'll try to get a pic of the bun in the oven if Summer will let me. Convince her, won't you?

The kids are about done with school and will be on a short break. Ciara's starting 9th grade soon. Isn't that nuts?

Our kids are taking full advantage of their Filipino heritage and the genetic protections that their genes afford them. In other words, they're getting quite dark as they spend a couple hours in the pool every day.

I'm going to sign out with one thought: Carol (my mother in law) is flying to Mexico for a 4-day vacation tomorrow. After you pick your jaw up from the ground, please pray for her safety. She's excited and nervous as she's never flown before.

Tchau tchau!

Weekly update!

Thursday, November 15, 2007

First things first: new pics are up in the Gallery.

Lots of painting going on right now: kitchen, dining room, hall, and family room. We're also trying to finish out the kids' rooms before the influx of family next week.

My office is just about done. We just need a good framed WW2 aircraft print and to hang up Pepper's picture and medals.

Pool's set to be finished this weekend. Should be groovy!
