Project Update: Window Repair

One of the projects I've started in the house is repairing some of the stained glass windows. They are rather old, and the wood has really taken a beating. With my dad's help, we were able to get at least one square and ready for painting.

It was really exciting to drill for the first time - through 100 year old wood! Talk about jumping into the deep end. After working for the morning, my dad had some play time with Matt.

I'll have to post some pictures of some completed windows and this one when it's up and painted. :-)

Peekaboo

I turned my head from washing dishes to find Matt and Vax "hiding" from me in the hallway. Don't these two look like they were just contemplating trouble? :-)

Continual Self-Improvement

There is a long list of things I'm terrible at and floral arranging is pretty high on that list. (Photography is also on that list, one I'm hoping to rectify by keeping this blog).

These tulips were casualties of me getting into an altercation with some shubbery. At least they lived long enough for me to find the vase. They were really pretty though and a sure sign that spring is in full bloom!

Got Milk?

Fire Pit and Friendly Visitors

Last night we had our second official BBQ of the season. This time with the Fire Pit! Yay! After the fire died down a bit, we saw a racoon in our neighbors yard. Justin was going to set Ewok on him, but I was too fearful for the puppies safety. (Though really between Ewok and Vax it would have probably been the racoon who I should have been worried about).

Luckily, though we had already eaten my strawberry cake:



I'm getting better at making it, the structural integrity is beginning to hold more. Here's an earlier attempt from New Hampshire, over a year ago. You can see it falls a bit flat. Eventually, I will master this cake!

Matt at 18 Months

Why is he so happy? Cause he is running away from my pizza.



As you all probably know, Matt is a fussy eater - but I keep trying to get food in him!
