Time flies when you're having fun!

Well it is officially time to get on a better schedule here! Part of the reason for the delays is because around Christmas (as we were preparing our Christmas card address spreadsheet)... the computer crashed and we had to spend $100 with Best Buy's Geek Squad to get all of our information recovered and reboot the computer. The bad part now is that we don't have the license numbers for our software and cannot use our microsoft office suite. Computers are annoying! So all of our photos were on an external hard drive (and still are... I don't trust my machine anymore)! The old computer also would not let me post... Elliott and I finally pulled the trigger on a new macbook and we are so excited! Hopefully this means I'm back on the blogging wagon! Here are a few things we have been doing...

We painted our entire living room and up the stairs. These are kind of our main areas and you can see Elliott was pushing his balance and reach getting up the stairs walls and ceiling with the roller. We fought about whether or not to pay a painter... I was fearful E would break his neck and Elliott was fearful that I would break our budget. He won and proceeded to say "told ya so." I'm so glad he didn't break his neck because I would have felt like a real jerk saying "told ya so..."

The next little project was painting the stair backs. Ours were in desperate need but it was one heck of a tedious project. No one would ever notice it but I am so glad it is done!

It's amazing to us how each little project makes our house feel more like a home. It may be taking us a while to pull it all together but we have enjoyed our house hobby and the sense of pride in doing it ourselves is great. Elliott is so handy and I am so lucky to have a husband who puts so much time and energy into our home. The last month or so he has been building us a fence (!!!!) and the pictures will be coming soon once we finish!

Happy Olympic Opening Week!

Love to all!
