Busy day 143/365

Today was quite busy! With my brother and his girlfriend in town, we decided to take advantage of our location and do some window shopping at Ikea for David's new house. But we started the day with breakfast with the Armstrong family!









Then it was off to Ikea!

First David found a corner couch he really liked.



Then a desk he felt was perfect - doesn't he look great at it?









Then he discovered bedroom furniture! This is huge - you have to  understand that my patient brother has been using the same bedroom furniture for the past 30 years! It's the set that my parents purchased three decades ago when my mom was pregnant with me. Don't get me wrong - it's great stuff and well made, but it's exciting to see David begin to discover what he really likes.
