Our Home

This is it, Folks. Once I'm done with this post- no more house pics. I'm probably more tired of seeing them than you are, or maybe I'm just biased- I think our house just looks better in person. SO- I guess you'll just have to come and visit us!
Here is our bedroom. Jules, wouldn't that upholstered bed look fabulous in here? Maybe for Christmas I can talk Marcuu into it.
Here is our breakfast room (you can kind of see the backyard from here).

Our living room with fireplace. On the right side, we have two sets of French doors that lead to the patio.

Our dining room, complete with borrowed antique table and chairs. Each chair has a unique needlepoint seat. Thanks for helping us fill up this room, Margaret!

And our kitchen! It must be twice the size of the old one, and despite it being almost 15 years my senior, I love it. And, I still love my Fishy teakettle (thank you Terra).

That's all she wrote- there are other rooms, but I guess you'll have to see 'em to believe it!

House Party!!!




We're officially settled in. I know y'all are still waiting for pictures of our home with furniture- but really, I am still pulling it all together. On our third Saturday in, we warmed our home with the company of good friends (new and old). Thank you all, who were able to make it, and for those who had to miss- you missed one heck of a party!



Heather, Seneca, Royce, Judy and Logan


Mike, Wade and Jen (Big thanks to the Austin crowd for coming in!!!)




John B and John S, friends from my previous job at the architectural firm.



Friend Ashley and her darling boy Will.



Margaret, Missy, and Heather enjoy some snacks.




The Kenny Family




And, my personal favorite part of the evening. Some neighborhood children thought it was hilarious that Cali kept jumping into the dollhouse (to avoid being chased). The little girl asked me if Woogie ever went into the house, and I told her, no- really only Cali liked the house. 15 minutes later, said children are forcing our poor Chihuahua through the front door of the dollhouse. It was so stinking funny, and poor Woogs was really a good sport. He and the cat slept almost the whole next day!
