Mark's latest and greatest

Cary Design Studio does it again! And finally we're getting pictures up to prove it! This is one of the houses that Mark has been working on...fully designed, totally gutted, built on a second story, and now the family is calling it their dream home. It's gorgeous, inside and out (exterior pictures to follow)...and it's taken lots and lots and - words that can't even describe the amount of - hard work, patience, perserverance, nights, weekends, and maybe even some love and a lot of other words that was put into this joint. I am SO proud of my Mark...

GORGINA, eh?

If you want Mark Cary of Cary Design Studio to design YOUR home, you must act quickly! This bad boy might just be putting him over the edge (mainly being the contractor) and he's about to transition back to hospitality, where his real passion is.

 Imagine how amazing that work is if this isn't even a passion. :)

G & K Updates

It's been a while since we've had a G.Love update. That's Lauren's new name for him...and with Kali, it's G. Love and the Special K. Love it!

He's 10 months and 2 weeks old...crawling, cruising, climbing, standing, "talking" (when we call Kali in the backyard, "Kallllliiiiii"...he mimics and says "yaaaaaaawaaaaaaa" or something like that, in the same tone of voice, so funny!)...and charming all of the ladies at the grocery store with that sweet sweet smile. Just being a happy love bug that we love soooo much!

Kali needs an update too...she's 2 1/2 years old, so sweet and loving to her little brother. She loves it when Graham crawls up on her first thing in the morning (usually), playing in the backyard is both of their favorite events during the day, and she's getting to finally settle down a little and be sooo sweet and obedient (usually).

So here are some G. Love and the Special K recent photos!

the best!
