mom and dad visit

Mom and Dad were here this week-end on their way home from two weeks in Arizona visiting Aunt Maggie and Granma. We packed a number of activities into the 48 visit, including the ballet (which we forgot to take pictures of ourselves dressed up for). We did take some pictures in a lovely little garden that we toured and in which we all got inspired - even Miran wants to build a vine arbor in our backyard like he saw there.

While they were here, Dad also installed a light bar in my bathroom, which as you might recall we started redoing a few months ago. I replaced the dated medicine cabinet with built in light with a larger mirror (that Dad made), but hadn't replaced the light so have been getting ready in the dark. A few weeks ago we bought the fixture, but Miran hasn't had time to install it. Dad took care of it in an afternoon. He also replaced the light switch with one that includes an outlet, because there isn't a single outlet in that bathroom, which is very weird. So now I can put on make-up and straighten my hair in my bathroom for the first time since we moved in almost two years ago!
