I'm sure it will be perfect. I have an email in my outbox waiting to get finished addressed to you...someday soon! Sure love you.

We are still praying for him, and you!...Poor Clark. We are still praying for him, and you! :) What a sweet boy. As for the dining room, I say go with white if you want to. Buy a good, washable paint and it will hold up fine! (says the woman who looks at all the dirty, worn, white trim in my house and wants it clean and intact...) There is just something to love about white walls,especially in a colorful house like yours.

Seriously, when we were in the hospital during Brigham's surgery, I read books, watched movies, read blogs, everything but meditate. I needed the distraction -- I think it keeps us sane in the midst of the stress. <br />And oh, how I LOVE those nurses who seem to know exactly the moment the little one finally falls asleep so they can come turn on the lights!!! haha. <br /><br />I hope he can expand his palate soon and get some other foods in there. Like you said, those things are only treats when they're treats.<br /><br />Love you. And that dining room is very pretty. I would have major stress about the constant stains, mess, etc. with so much white...that's me, though, and I have anxiety about a lot of messy things. That's why there are really not a lot of decorative things around my house. The simplicity gives me relief. I love that we can all have different ways of finding peace in our lives, whether it's by having lots of pretty little things or having very few things. Glad Heavenly Father has given us ways to deal with our circumstances.<br /><br />Anyway, I sure love you. Have been thinking about you so much. Glad Clark is home and doing at least pretty well.Jocelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13914081924660422629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5688126907672440542.post-12416220703142734552011-05-01T21:49:22.883-06:002011-05-01T21:49:22.883-06:00Em, you're doing great. Taking care of Clark ...Em, you're doing great. Taking care of Clark is the most important thing to do right now; the house will fall into place as you adjust and as he heals. As for the dining room, that's an awesome picture. I think if you paint in a semi-gloss so fingerprints come off, you could probably do white. The fun thing about white is that you can change everything else whenever you want and it still looks good.Hopeful Homemakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014065641058621634noreply@blogger.com
