Details and Dinner

The stairs in relation to the slope of the kitchen floor are a reminder of how much "character" our home has...

H loves the finished floors...
Out of the boxes and onto shelves...
The kitchen sink...
Pantry and hiding spot...
New window treatments in H's room...

It was a dinner too lovely not to photograph (delicious, too): Dutch oven bread, citrus/herb olives, baked Mediterranean shrimp, and molten chocolate cakes...

Happy Heart Day!

Our little valentine...

And a valentine from my parents...yum!

A look at Struct/Restruct's (Eric's company) nearly completed project on 933 Delaware in Lawrence. The transformation has been amazing to watch...

Telluride Jan. 09

We finally met Lil' Snoop (aka Simon) on our short trip to Telluride. He's about as sweet as they come...

Harper couldn't leave the very tolerant kitty alone for more than a couple seconds...

It may be hard to believe, but there is no relation between Dave and baby Reece...We had a great time and wish we could have seen everyone we intended to, but those few days went by faster than anticipated. We were lucky to see so many of our wonderful friends, and thank you all for the hospitality!

Details

Several of the details are coming together in the house, including built in shelves, baseboard and door trim, all custom built by the incredible Mr. Jay.

Bubble Beard

Harper's impression of Daddy's new facial hair...

Christmas 2008

Harper had a great time playing with Jack all Christmas day. Here they are enjoying cookies while spinning in their new turtle shell thingies in Gammy's kitchen...

There was no lack of presents for the little ones. A very articulate Elmo was an instant hit with H...
Helping Guppy with his next backgammon move...

No Nap

This is what I'm looking for - a nap...

This is what I've got - no nap (H took to crawling out of her crib; keeping her in a bed is exponentially more difficult)...

Or maybe she can't sleep because our tree is too bright!
In house news, Eric has been busy patching the floor (it's the piece running between the two vents)...


And the refrigerator fits perfectly, and I mean perfectly, into its little fridge cubby.
