So, it’s Monday which normally means back to the weekly grind. This week is a little different however. They are finishing the “NEW” kitchen today and tomorrow starting with the brand “NEW” counter top and sink. On Tuesday they will replace the backsplash and put in a “NEW” range as well. I will have pictures, hopefully Wednesday, of all the stages of the kitchen, including how it looked when we bought the house three and half years ago. Trust me, you want to see that, especially if you need a good laugh that day.
Speaking of “NEW” things, I got some new glasses a couple of weeks ago and I just got around to taking a picture of myself in them. I like them, but they are still taking a little getting used to since they are a very different style than my old ones.
I usually wear contacts but since having a second child I find myself wearing my glasses more and more so I thought I would get some “cooler” ones. Anyway, let me know what you think.
Also, there is a “NEW” baby in the family. Well, ok, technically he’s not related to us by blood, but Chandler & Claudia are like our family so of course their children are too. Christian James was born on April 22 weighing in at a mere 9 lbs. 3 oz. (trust me, this is “mere” compared to his older brother who was a whopping 11 lbs. 6 oz. and yes, you did read that right.)
Isn’t he sweet?! Oh I do love the newborns – they are so sweet and snuggly! I can’t believe it’s been almost a year since mine was this small…
Also “NEW” in this house is my new inspiron 1720 Dell laptop. Yes folks, my early Mother’s Day gift came to me on Friday and I just love it. Although I may have to cut down on bloggin’ time since I am not allowed to keep it out in the open as I did with my old one. Unless of course I want the “Ctrl”, “Page Up” and “Shift” buttons to be pulled off by a certain almost-one-year-old. He’s really good at that. Here she is in all her glory. Oh I do love her so…
That’s all I got for today. Anything “NEW” up with you?
I love your glasses!
Your blog looks so pretty. I’m not very computer or graphics savvy, mine tends to be more of a wasteland of my writing…I’m always so impressed by people with pretty graphics!
Love those glasses!
I’d love a new kitchen too–can’t wait for pics.
Nothin’ new here 🙂
Ooo, those glasses, tres chic! They look fantastic on you!
Can’t wait to see the kitchen, I love new kitchens!
The laptop, congrats to having a few keys in place (wink) it’s pertty!

I’ll be back to get caught up on what I have missed, but I wanted to let you know you have been tagged over at my blog in todays Meme Monday post.
Your glasses are so nice, they suit you to a T!
Yay for the new laptop. I have a Dell too and I LOVE it. I might be a bit jealous of your number pad though…. I am an accountant after all 🙂
Wow, Lady!! LOTSA new!! 🙂
Love the glasses and the computer! 🙂
Nothing “new” here. Sigh.
Wow. I wasn’t aware computers had gender? Liking the new glasses. And, congrats on the new tyke. He’s a doll. What OB lets a baby get to be 11 pounds? Shoot that man.
REally cute glasses! A-dorable baby. I like your new laptop too – I have a Dell and love it!
Nice to see you – see you later – Kellan
CUTE glasses and CUTE baby! I’m so jealous – I look stupid in my glasses . . . maybe has something to do with the fact that I have a tranny head.
I love before and after pics of home improvement stuff! Can’t wait to see your kitchen. And your new glasses are awesome. I’m in the market for a new pair for the exact same reason as you. Plus, after moving west of San Antonio, I’ve encountered a whole new barrage of allergens that seem to affect my eyes and therefore contacts. Ugh.
Congrats on the new PC!
Great glasses! I never can seem to find ones I love when I am looking!
Great blog, by the way!
Goodness, lots of NEW going on!
I am uber jealous of the new kitchen – mine needs updating badly.
I never saw the old glasses so there’s no adjustment factor for me, but these look fantastic and suit you so well!
Congrats, Aunte Elaine. ;o)
A laptop! That’s awesome! I’m still stuck back on a desktop for now.
As for NEW here….um, food since I went grocery shopping today? LOL.
You are so cute!!! I love the glasses.
Love the computer–I have its much older (and slower) brother.
CUTE, cute baby. I was just thinking that I sometimes miss J when he was a newborn–he will be 9 months at the end of the week. Boy does time fly!
cute baby, love the glasses, can’t wait to see the kitchen and I’m SOOOOOOOOOOOO lusting over your mothers day gift.
Happy Monday
You look so great! Love the glasses and congrats on the new ‘puter. New toys are the best.
By the way, your blog is looking gorgeous, loving it.
Love the new glasses and adore the newborn(makes me miss that stage…almost)but I’m really drooling over that new laptop. Congrats!
I was wondering why you didn’t post pics of the new countertops and backsplash with the new floor. I didn’t realize it was happening at two different times. You must feel like a new woman…new glasses, new kitchen and new comp. Enjoy it!!
Nothing new here but I’m loving your new laptop and feeling a little drooly over it. =0)
Love the glasses. And the newborn. Never can get enough of newborns.
Hi Elaine
Your new glasses really suit you. It’s amazing how a different style of glasses can change your whole look.
That’s one stylish laptop, what a wonderful Mother’s day pressie.
I am looking forward to seeing pictures of your new kitchen. It sounds like the countdown is now on and the finish line is in sight.
Warmest wishes
Elise.
I love the glasses, Elaine. So chique!
