A glimpse into life at 1813

This is four days worth of PBJs in the Underwood fridge...

Wait, what just happened?

So Sara and I decided a few months ago that we would like to get some new furniture in our living room. So we put our furniture up on craigslist. Well every couple of weeks I would repost the ad just to see if we get any bites. And since we were in no hurry we asked a considerable amount more than we paid. Well on Thursday we had a bite. He came over to look at the furniture that night and came back to pick it up on Sunday. So here is our living room sans furniture. You may be asking yourself, great, so when does the new furniture arrive? Great question. It arrives once we figure out what we want, go buy it, and arrange for the delivery.

So because we were worried that we would have too much downtime in the next couple weeks, we decided to add furniture shopping (my fav) to the list. Love it.

Prepping for Owen...

Here is the final pic of the two valances that were hung and the pic of Ella.
The valance on the small window that looks on to the front porch.

The pic of Ella that is secured with screws and is ready to be kicked and grabbed by Owen.

Sara's craftiness on display. Great story here about trying to drill through a knot in the ribbon and us ending up literally winding about half of that ribbon around the drill bit. We ended up with a bent drill bit and a few tears from laughing.

Mama bear working hard in the nursery. I believe they call his part "nesting".

Mama bear in action...

I only promise to hang things. My job ends at making them pretty...

The Shelves

"Babymoon" in the Hill Country

This past weekend we packed up the car and headed south towards the hill country to enjoy a weekend away from Fort Worth. We enjoyed stoping through Waco to visit Jamey and Gatsby and of course enjoyed some Common Grounds coffee and then enjoyed visiting with Beth & Patrick as we passed through Austin on our way back home.

We stayed in the metropolis of "Comfort" Texas at a little bed and breakfast for the weekend. Our room was quite quaint...a little drafty...but quaint...

This is outside of where we enjoyed breakfast on Saturday and Sunday morning. The food was great, but the people watching and conversation listening around the tables near our table was fantastic!

The bed and breakfast backed up onto Cypress Creek we enjoyed walking down to take a couple photos...and found a tire swing that we couldn't pass up.

An action shot...

The weekend was quite a gift...and spured on some wondering, talking and prayer about how much our lives are about to change...

One major highlight of our time in the hill country was spending Saturday with the J & Rachael...we have missed having them in Fort Worth, but it was great to see their new world in Boerne, eat at a couple of their favorite spots (including the Hilltop Cafe) and explore Fredericksburg with them.
