Let’s catch up!

A few pictures to start things off!

 Dave has been busy installing the lighting system I ordered from Costco.com.  


The system comes fully equipped with really good instructions.  The online reviews were amazing- so I felt comfortable that Dave could handle this one. 🙂

Well, when we tried the lights out they didn’t light up!  So here is Dave on the phone with customer service.  They were very helpful and before you know it, we had a well lit house.

We still have a few lights to place around the landscape.  I’ll post more pics at that point.  Overall, an easy experience and one that I will be able to enjoy for a long time to come.
Picked up this topiary from Costco this week and can’t wait to put it in a planter on the front porch.  Finally warm weather is here!!

My back porch is getting a make over!  These are the new colors I have chosen.  I can’t wait to put it all together.  

 All products were picked up from the At Home store.

I usually use the color blue as an accent out here, but I felt I needed to change things up this year.  I wanted a continuous flow from the inside of the house to the outside.  So now the colors will be gray, beige and black- the same colors in the house. 

I’ll update the blog when I finish this next week. 🙂

 KJ having fun outside at my brother’s house. He was digging for worms.

 We gathered there for my nephew Trevor’s confirmation.

 
 This is Trevor holding baby Ethan.  Our family continues to grow in numbers and in love. 🙂

Trevor is in 8th grade and is kind and loving.  He is just like my little brother, his father, Mike.

Dave and I tried a new taproom in Midland, MI.  It’s called Whichcraft (cute name) and it was very good! Lots of beers to choose from.

Finally the sun!  We have had a lonnnng winter and now we are finally seeing sunlit rooms- I love it!  

We haven’t decided on a rug for this room yet.  We are still looking around and taking our time.  Haven’t really decided if I want to change out the artwork yet either.  

So that is what we have been busy with.  What’s new with you?
