Busy bees...

We have been busy! Where do I even start? Over the holidays we bought a new car. We got a 2008 Honda Accord. Joe has to turn his company car in, so we needed a replacement. We were able to take advantage of the bad economy & got a great deal.

While we were off for the holidays, Joe put cabinets in the laundry room for me. The extra storage space is great and it is nice to be able to close the doors on all our stuff instead of it sitting out on one shelf. THEN - Joe painted the kitchen. I picked out a nice, pastel green and it turned out a lot darker than I expected. I've gotten used to it now and think it will look nice with the burnt orange & light brown accents I plan to get.

Last weekend the desk we bought was delivered (again, taking advantage of the economy). In our first house Joe built a nice desk to fit into a little nook in one of the rooms, but in our new house we don't have a nook like that and we needed something different. We hope the new desk will help, or at least encourage us to stay organized.

A few weeks ago I painted my toe nails for the first time in a long time and Leah was very interested in my red toenails. Last weekend I painted hers. She has been talking about her toes ever since.

Today we had a dusting of snow so we took Leah out in it. She had a good time cleaning the snow off everything. That is her favorite thing to do inside, so she was thrilled. The cold didn't seem to bother her but she was pretty bundled up.

I hope everyone is doing well and I will keep updating the blog. My brother Pete and his son Alex are coming to visit the week after next and I am sure I will have a lot to say.

In a rut

I've been in a blogging rut, but I promise I will have an update this week. We have had plenty going on, I just haven't kept up with writing about it.
