WIth the weather getting nicer, the number of household chores increasing, and the plethora of other things going on ...   more »

I added some more photos to last week's album (I'm starting you out on the first of the new bunch). Nothing too exciting here--just a few shots around the house. We replaced the hardware on our kitchen cabinets as well as our dining room chandelier. The rest are pictures shot in the same general vicinity of the house. It has been a pretty low-key, quiet three-day weekend for us. Yup, we had Good Friday off of work. We were glad for the extra day off to bask in all the wondrous, beautiful snow and frigid temperatures mourn the loss of the warm weather and first flowers of spring, now buried under several inches of snow. We've reverted to the not-so-long-forgotten winter hibernation tendencies of staying inside: cooking, cleaning, playing with the girls, and planning our next home improvements...

1) our long-awaited privacy fence this spring (yes, that means that, at the end of this month when our six month contract when our realtor is up, we'll be taking the house off the market)

2) new countertops, tile, and appliances for the kitchen (most likely later this year or next year at this time)

3) new living room carpeting and entry way tile (next year)

4) a new washer and dryer (hopefully our old ones will last until next year, too)

Well, I'm off to enjoy what little time we have left before the end of the long weekend. Hope you are doing the same.
