Inside the house...when we first got it

These are all the before pictures of our house. The former owner had recently renovated the place, we were extremely lucky to get such a nice place. There were only a few things we had him do before buying the house (install a radon mitigation system and a vent for the dryer...he had even switched out the outlets to be GFCI rated and added railing to the back deck even though he didn't have to). Our realtor told us that people don't usually get so lucky to have the owner put in so much extra work. There was definitely someone watching out for us. The upper floor has three bedrooms, the living room, kitchen, dining room, 2 baths.

The downstairs has a family room, utility, and 3/4 bath. The fireplace was blocked off within the first few years that the previous owners had the house.

Building a Snowman

I had to laugh, it looks like she had been sniffing coke.

William adding the finishing touches.

Cella didn't like her rope being used as the scarf. She took it off herself.

Both the dogs were eating the snowman, but I liked this one of Marbre giving it a big lick.

Feb-Mar Snow

We had a few snow days this year. At one point the snow just kept coming and coming. These were after one of the storms.

There was a huge branch that broke off in the middle of the night. The amount of snow and ice just became too much to hold up I suppose.

The poor lilac bush. We ended up shaking this one off, and it sprung right back up.

Mmmmm...Peanut Butter

The answer is yes, she even got the stuff at the bottom.

Visit to Trane

When going to manufacturing plants you usually have to wear steel toe shoes, hard hat, safety glasses, etc. Well, I didn't have any steel toe shoes on this trip so I got some sweet bright yellow covers. There was clacking everywhere I walked, which I am sure people loved!
