Grandma's Chair

I've had my great grandmother's chair for the last 10 years.  It was my favorite chair of hers. I vividly remember both of us rocking and doing various things. After she passed away, I convinced my Uncle Leslie to let me have it for my new house. I would restore it and make it beautiful again. Like I said - that was 10 years ago. So this fall, it finally made it out of the garage, was refinished & reupholstered, and then given to Addi - lol.

Bottom line, she needed a chair, so the glider could transition to Bug's nursery.  It looks great. Check it out!

After everything. Re-upholstery by Gilton Upholstery in Grand Prairie. H/T to my friend Gail Spencer for the recommendation -

Day with the Gang

Last Saturday I got the chance to keep the Double A's. Ash had to take her team to watch UTA play, so my afternoon and evening was spent with the crew. After Addi finally decided to take her long overdue nap, Bug and I spent some time making funny faces and playing together.  He's starting to smile and do some crazy things. All photos compliments of my iPhone, and no not iPhone 5 - yet...
