It's like a new house, but not really...

This is a picture of our house Fall 2007 right after we moved in.


And now here it is five years later
Dearest Brian has put so much work into making our home beautiful, landscaping,, installing new windows that keep the winter drafts out, taking the ugly bars off the windows, keeping the bushes nice and trimmed.  I'll soon have pics of our slider door that he also recently put in.  Our hope is to get it all nice and fixed up and hopefully sell it next year -bittersweet, but mostly sweet...

The Transformation to the Girls' room

It's fun to own a house and be able to do projects and change things however you want.  Brian and I feel like with a third baby girl on the way we are starting to outgrow this house of ours.  We have officially moved Josiah to a downstairs room. It's been fun looking back on how this little baby room has changed over 4 years.  Here is Josiah's little blue and brown nursery with a Monkey theme.


18 months later we took out that baby crib and he had a big boy bed!

 3 months later we put that baby crib right back in the room and painted it a more neutral Green color as we awaited baby Grace's arrival.

 2 years after Grace's arrival the crib is stored and the room is now pink and brown as we now find ourselves waiting for yet another little sister!  So it's officially the "girls" room and soon that little white crib is going to find it's way into the room again!

A "Low Country Boil" kinda Labor Day

Labor Day is an American federal holiday observed on the first Monday in September that celebrates the economic and social contributions of workers (thank you wikipedia).  So in honor of Labor Day my Tuesday morning group (http://lisaulrich.blogspot.com/2011/10/loving-little-years.htmlgot) got our families together for a "Low Country Boil".  What is a low country boil you ask? It's ALOT of good food and fun!  My friend Christi and her husband have a gift of throwing fun parties and making everyone involved feel quite loved and special.  We filled up on corn, shrimp, sausage and potatoes eaten right off the table!  And of course a plethora of desserts to follow.  It was a beautiful hot day in Spokane today - made for a perfect outdoor lunch!  Now we are home anxiously awaiting the arrival of Brian who was gone all weekend on his annual Labor day hiking trip...that post to follow


Here's just one site with a low country boil recipe if your interested
