Project 365: Week 22

Day 148: This week of pictures is devoted to the GRAND OPENING of our new office! It has been a loooooong 3 month renovation process, but Paci Chiropractic is now open for business!

Day 149: A shot of Tio's office.

Day 150: The back hallway...this lighting makes it look much more yellow than it is in real life. I LOVE how the colors came out...I have Dan at Sherwin Williams to thank for that!

Day 152: Quite possibly my favorite part of the whole office...our "kids" room! The "horse table" is still a favorite among our smallest patients. I used Uppercase Living for the vinyl wall art. We love kids at Paci Chiropractic!

Day 153: The therapy room. More Uppercase Living vinyl wall art. I really like how the dandelion turned out!

Day 154: The front desk. Just how I had imagined! I love the stone work...Tio did an amazing job!

Day 155: The waiting room. I love all of the natural light that this room gets. It's hard to imagine it used to be a bank...we've changed so much!

The best part of this whole project is that we NEVER have to move the office again!!! Paci Chiropractic is here to stay!

Project 365: Week 21

Day 141: I'm in VEGAS!!!!! My much anticipated trip for my Grandpa's 90th birthday has arrived. How cool is it that my Grandpa wanted to celebrate this monumental occasion with a trip to Vegas & LA to be on the Price is Right?!?! I'm so glad to be a part of a family who would do these crazy things! Pictured above is my amazing "Papa", Fred Giddy. He's the youngest 90 year old you'll ever meet. He's a huge inspiration to me and Tio. Papa was a chiropractor and graduated from Palmer in the '40's. We are so proud to carry on his "chiropractic heritage"...side note: if one of our kids becomes a chiropractor someday, they'll be 4th generation (my papa, my dad, & Tio are all chiropractors!). Happy Birthday, Papa!!!!

Day 142: Actually, I'm not sure which day this was taken on! All the days blend together in Vegas! This is my mom & my sister & I in one of the very cool casino shopping malls. The shopping in Vegas is awesome, who knew?!?

Day 143: 1st night in Hollywood! Here is a shot of the whole fam! Isn't it awesome that all of these people came out to celebrate my grandpa's birthday! 13 of us traveled from the east coast, and we met up with 7 more family members who live in CA. We had quite the birthday bash!

Day 144: Today we film the PRICE IS RIGHT! This is a shot of the CBS studio that we will be filming at. They also shoot American Idol and Dancing with the stars here. This whole process is so cool...I can't believe we actually made it here!

Day 145: Another shot of Hollywood! We're at the Grauman's Chinese Theater on Hollywood Blvd. This is Marilyn Monroe's handprints!

Day 146: My trip is coming to an end...it is almost time for me to return home to my life as a stay-at-home-mom in small town Pennsylvania....I must leave Vegas and Hollywood behind, but before I do, I had to include 1 shot of my family. It's been a long time since we've all been together, and I'm so glad we could do it for such a happy occasion!

Day 147: Look what I get to return home to....Claire's first dance recital! I made it home in the nick of time...I'm so glad I didn't miss this! Our beautiful dancer did a wonderful job on stage! I think SHE may be headed to Hollywood someday!!!!!

Project 365: Week 20

Day 134: Off to a birthday party at the dance studio! Our friend Calleigh is celebrating her 5th birthday, and the girls can't wait to celebrate with her!

Day 135: The floor is in!!!! It looks so good! We were torn on which flooring to go with in the reception area, but I'm thrilled with what we picked and how it turned out! It's amazing what a difference the flooring makes!

Day 136: 1st trip to the dentist! This is Claire's first official trip to the dentist. She's been before to have her teeth counted, but this time she had them cleaned and checked. And guess what....NO cavities!!!

Day 137: It's the end of pre-school! Tonight was the "graduation" program for Claire's class. She looked so grown up on the stage! I can't believe this year has gone so fast! She is ready for Kindergarten!!!

Day 138: On the last day of preschool, we celebrated with "pet day"...since the only pets we have are turtles and a goldfish, our friend "Tex" got to join Claire in class today. The kids seemed to like him, but no body volunteered to hold him except for Claire!

Day 139: It's the end of the Brownie year! Emma is officially a "Junior" girl scout now! It has been a fun year as the leader of this great group of girls! I'm sure they have many more adventures ahead of them as Juniors!

Day 140: It's the Cumberland Life Festival! This is a special day that the 8th grade students put on for the whole school. They research and present how life would have been in the Cumberland Valley in the 1800's. Emma loved learning about the Underground Railroad and square dancing!
