I'll let these pictures do the talking. At first, she didn't want to go out, then she did, then she didn't, then she didn't want mitts, but then she did........

Ryder thinks he's going for a W-A-L-K!!

And here is sweet baby Wynn at 4 months old.

Always with his hand(s) in his mouth!

Tara's photography lesson

Photography 101 - I taught Tara to take this picture last weekend - focusing on something thats not in the CENTER of the picture. She did good! :)

More renovations

One thing we have always wanted to do was put a new window in our bedroom - something you can look out without having to step on your tip toes! So before we get started on Drew's room downstairs, we decided to "prep"our room for this new fantasy window! We don't actually have one to put in this hole in the wall - but we will some day!

Its going to be SO nice.... with a bench to sit on, and a window thats 6 feet by 7 feet..... and an opening at the bottom. We've designed it, but again, we don't actually OWN it yet!

The nicest thing will be the window bench that sits right next to the weeping willow tree outside our bedroom. I will be able to read - or just sit and chill while watching the birds - or more like, Ryder barking at the birds! And in a more practical sense, I'll actually have some storage under that window bench to put blankets and things....

So, the basement is priority #1, but some day, this hole in the wall is gonna be nice too!

Right now, its a boarded up bump-out thats insulated and drywalled inside. Not very pretty! :(

Check out this carrot!!

My MIL grew this!

My drive home Nov 2nd

This was on my trip home one day this week - the sunset was just incredible!

I rushed home, ran inside, grabbed the camera and drove out to this spot - almost missed the "moment", but glad I got a couple shots! It was amazing.

Tara this is for you - our new wall of photos!  Nice hey?
