Painting Party

Before

During

After

For those of you who enjoy updates on the Larsons, here is our most recent adventure: painting three rooms in our house. The green is the baby room (peeled pistachio), the brown is the living room and that bright orangy yellow is our bedroom. They all look great and Kari is very happy, which makes me very happy :). The staff of Camp Squeah put on this painting party to help us in our endeavor but also as a going away gift for Kari for the 10 months of work she did with them this year.

Thank you Rob, Liz, Dan and Brittany for helping us out! Thank you Lavern for lunch and thank you to those who put money towards paint (it's not cheap!).

So I don't feel that I know you guys that well... Scott knows you both better... but come on, your having a baby and I had a baby seven months ago... so we have a lot in common! How is it going? I just found your blog, very interesting. I hope you have an amazing last bit of pregnancy, it was my worst part but I wish you all the best! Does green paint mean boy? I have some things for you if so...

Gandalf the Grey

But the last-comer was named among the elves Mithrandir, the Grey Pilgrim, for he dwelt in no place, and gathered to himself neither wealth nor followers, but ever went to and fro in the Westlands ... befriending all folk in times of need. Warm and eager was his spirit for he was the Enemy of Sauron, opposing the fire that devours and wastes with the fire that kindles, and succours in wanhope and distress; but his joy, and his swift wrath, were veiled in garments grey as ash, so that only those that knew him well glimpsed the flame that was within. Merry he could be, and kindly to the young and simple, and yet quick at times to sharp speech and the rebuking of folly; but he was not proud, and sought neither power nor praise, and thus far and wide he was beloved among all those that were not themselves proud. Mostly he journeyed unwearyingly on foot, leaning on a staff; and so he was called among Men of the North Gandalf, 'Elf of the Wand'.
