Happy Belated New Year

I know I'm a little late in the well wishes. 2008 got off to a great start for us as we rang in the new year with our best friends. Ej took a vacation the first week of the new year and we spent some time remodeling our closet, which has been on our agenda for a couple years now. The closet is quite long and narrow and we were in need of extra storage space. We took out the standard clothes rod that went the full length, in exchange for a his and hers double rod system in one end and an expanse of shelving units the remainder of the length. I love it and can't wait to finish the rearrangement in the rest of the bedroom. The next step is to paint our bedroom which has remained unpainted since we moved in two and a half years ago and we'll be on our way to my 'dream' room in our humble home.
While the year started out great, the end of the week proved to be less than desirable as we all 3 ended up with the flu. Thanks to Grammy and Pa who were able to come take care of Tori for a little while so Ej and I could recover.
Now that we are all back to normal, we were finally able to get some pictures taken to post. Tori has decided that it's fun to play ball up and down the hallway.
She has also become fascinated with zippers. The first thing she does when we put her jammies on is to find the zipper; she also has been obsessed with wearing her vest lately so she can play with that zipper. In addition, she decided it was alright to wear mommy's vest too. Here are a few of the recent cute pics of Tori. Enjoy!

Oh my gosh, she is so cute! I can't believe she is walking and practically running!

Your closet looks great! Good job on accomplishing your goals. They say that you're supposed to decorate your bedroom before any other room in a new home, because it's where you go to personally retreat and relax, but I find that very few people actually do the bedroom first. It's good that you're getting to it after only 2 1/2 years. :)
