What is this thing called silence?

We have officially said good bye to all our family. Our last round of revolving door guests left on Saturday morning. We dropped Preston's Mom, Dad and sister off at the airport, blowing kisses from Paxton from the security check point. Sigh... the absence of family leaves us with mixed emotions. We look forward to returning to a schedule and quiet time, but it pulls at our heart strings to say good bye to our family, unsure of the next time we will see them. Overall, the best part of having family here was seeing them all love Paxton and having him surrounded by family. Preston and I both feel overwhelmingly blessed by how wonderful our families are.
The second best thing about having family here was utilizing their magnificent talents. :) Preston's sister and mom reupholstered a couch I bought at Goodwill for a great deal. Check it out.

The couch originally had a heinous dust ruffle as well but I forgot to snap a picture before they ripped it off. I couldn't be more happy with this little sofa. Aren't they so talented? We look forward to many comfy movies on this sofa. Our goal is to not get Pax spit up on it for at least a month. :)
