All in a day's work...

We spent the day at Lowes and at the house. D obliged us and helped to clean up the yard. I got all of the wallpaper down in the bathroom--we lucked out, the previous owners used the kind that's easier to remove. I'm hoping the kitchen is the same!

As seen in music city...

I was in Nashville the last 7 or 8 days. Stayed at the beautiful Hutton Hotel, it was exquisite in all regards. This is in their lobby, thought you might enjoy. I love the blue glass 'water' he's drinking from... more pics of Nashville to come, once I get home I'll upload them all.

Another northwestern PA winter...

Here are some highlights from the last few months.

Chris's friend, Daryl, was over one night while it snowed and blowed. When he went to leave, we discovered the snowfall had drifted right in front of our door! We had to dig out piles and piles while you can see the cars next to us were fine!


D has been taking drum lessons at a local music store. Each study room has a fun door on it, and his teacher has some great art on his wall. I snapped a pic while he was in class.


Bowling is one of my favorite pasttimes! I dusted off my bowling ball and shoes and we headed out into the cold.

Hospital gowns and Valentine's Day...

Well, thanks goodness it came and went without any major procedures, but Chris's second hospital stay was another long week. On Valentine's Day I brought him chocolate-covered strawberries and slept in the room. I documented, as usual.

I snapped this while we waited in the ER hallway. It took them a few hours to get him to a room upstairs.


Chris definitely had a better view this time! We could see ice fisherman out on the bay, and it snowed quite a bit.


This is officially my new favorite photo of Chris and Daulton. They were playing the game Battleship on Daulton's game player, and they both laughed at the same time. I always catch them giggling about one thing or another, in their own little world.

We did it!

Well, we bought a house! It's such a strange feeling. Now instead of being full of potential, it looks like a lot of work! ha ha. But that's okay, it will be SO great when we're done. This is our front porch!
