Around the house

We've had a lot to do around here in the past few weeks, which is why I'm so awful at keeping you all updated.

Also, I had a quick, wonderful jaunt to New Orleans to visit a dear friend. I love Jackson Square!

We now have a lush, green lawn. Unfortunately, that lush, green-ness is not due to grass. It's due to weeds. We'll take whatever we can get :).

They look like little alfalfa sprouts!

Also, I saw this guy outside recently. What in the world.

I've been frantically trying to get the house ready for Thanksgiving and for Tony's parents to visit. Even though we've lived in the house since July, as of two days ago, there was not ONE picture/art anything aside from the TV hanging up on the walls.

Augh!

Well, we fixed up the guest room, so now it at least looks nice instead of a barren cell!

Instead of covering up the fireplace with an old wood palet, we decided to buy a real fire-place cover--a nice touch to the living room!

We're still working on hanging up family photos and other art we have collected over the years, hopefully it (along with a thorough cleaning and shopping for the Thanksgiving holiday) will get done before this Wednesday!
