Catch Up

When we first looked through this house, it was still winter so the yard looked very snowy and non-interesting. Luckily, by the time we moved in, spring was in the air and a gajillion beautiful perennials began to peek up in the front yard.

Now, our garden is in full swing! Thanks to some help from Katie Did Landscaping and alot of elbow grease, we've pulled out several bushes, spread 8 yards of mulch, and planted a couple of new beauties! Here are some pics I took the other day. We planted the white peonies, and I am thrilled that they are thriving! The rest came with the house! Thank you, lady that used to live here!

I haven't blogged a ton lately because our computer is as slow as molasses on a winter day and it's excruciating to wait for blogger to load a new post. Anywho, lately we have been filling our time with many things!

Fee's baby shower was a while ago and it was a blast! Lots of yummy food and cute presents. It has taken me forever to blog about it and she actually had the baby last week! Congrats R and Fee! Go visit the cute little guy here. Seriously, one of the cutest babies I have ever seen. Here are some pics from her shower.

Here's the quilt and dessert I contributed

We also had a baby shower for my sister-in-law, H, with my family! It was an adorable shower and we are still waiting for this little one to make his entrance. Congrats J and H!
This was the quilt I made.

We had a BBQ for Spence's bday last weekend that was a smashing success! It was great to see everyone, thanks for coming! Sorry, I didn't take any pictures...

Well, that's what we have been doing lately!

Don't you think sandwiches always taste better when served on a croissant?

I love the quilt. We still need to have domestic monday when you're available.
