The 1st "Project"!
The entryway was bad... 30 year old wheat stalk wall paper that just had to go! In fact... it was what made me a little skiddish about buying the home until Ken said, "it's only wallpaper... we can take it down." Well... 30 year old glue backing is some serious stuff let me tell you!!! AUGH... it was a HUGE undertaking.
The scary ladder! Yikes... Ken had to do this part!
The kids actually helped to peel the first layer that came off pretty easy... it was the glue paper backing that was a killer!
I am grateful for: the fact that this project is done!!

The finished product... we used a technique called "Tuscan Accents" on the small wall.

A Baby Blessing!
We went back to Colorado for my nieces blessing... Meghan Lea Yates. She is such a cutie and such a good little baby. We had fun visiting with everyone... Susan's family and G'pa & G'ma Hilliard along with Fred's family!
I am grateful for: The chance to see my family... I love 'em and wish we lived closer but I'm so grateful when I get to see them!

ODDS & ENDS
Jessica loves painting on the back deck!
We all love the red tractor... it's actually fun to mow the yard!
We have deer in our yard here too!
My new "thing"... fish piles= mashed yams, fish, green beans! YUM!
Before the furniture ever came the kids were building forts out back with all of the sticks!

TIME TO CATCH UP!
We're settled and loving Ohio! The week after our movers came my G'ma & G'pa came to visit and help us get settled... so nice of them and we really appreciate them taking the time to be with us! They are great decorators and know how to take your stuff and put it all together in a new refreshing way!! THANK YOU!! We decided to take an overnight trip up to the Amish Country and it was AMAZING!! It was a relaxing drive and scenic adventure.

I am grateful for: The opportunity to call Ohio home. We have really enjoyed it here and just love the people, they are so welcoming and it is soooo peaceful!
