getting caught up

Finally, we have Internet in our house and it's time to get caught up. We absolutely love our house. It's taking a while to get set up due to many big and small projects, but hopefully by the time Toby starts next week, we will have most things in their place. Even with the house not all together yet, it already feels like home. So, here are a few shots from the past week and a half.

our last time at our old beach with Elise's buddy Jarynn

pulling the tape on my first painting project - Elise's room

the mastermind behind our tiling project in the bathroom - thanks Dad!

Tob's dad hardly took a break the whole time he was here. One afternoon we did stop and check out a local winery. It was beautiful and relaxing. Poppy deserved a break!

wandering in the vineyard

Elise tickling herself with a piece of grass. :)

life is good... a new kiddie pool, in a sweet backyard, wearing one of her favorite "bicycle shirts" and eating a popsicle!

a view of an orchard in Palisade (just east of Grand Junction)

The Cameron Place CSA (Community Supported Agriculture), a local farm in Palisade where we are new "shareholders" in the farm co-op.

Okay, it's time to paint the living room. Toby's waiting (patiently)...
