California Trip

Seriously....Does it get any cuter than this?

Some more improvements

My mom came out and we worked on the house for a week. The table is not done yet obviously, but the dining room is close to being done. This was a fun room because everything in it besides the table settings and the lamp is something created from scratch or a re-done flea market find!! It is way to much fun. Chris says to slow down on my prodjects, but I must admit that there is something pleasing taking something ugly and turning it into something beautiful!!!

Life in Appalachian America!

So after a fun filled day enjoying the woods and the beautiful scenery, we came home and started cleaning up. Chris, so thoughtful took out all the trash only to run inside and said "there is a possum in the garbage!" Yes, only out here do you have possum's in your garbage, but unlike some of our neighbors, we did not eat this one!! After Chris tormented it with the broom for a while, we helped it escape to our back yard. This was only after the debate to put it out of the curb and when the garbage men pick it up they would get a surprise (pay back for the problems we have had with getting them to take out trash!! Or for anyone that often comes and rummages through the garbage, huge suprise!! Hee Hee

Now you may have thought the adventure ended there, oh no!! As soon as Chris came back in we heard the mouse in our cupboard!! We can't get rid of them!! Although Chris didn't catch it right away, he finally did today, it was in a box of pasta, he thought that was a neat little trap and he could see it through the window!! Oh we love it here!!

The flip side

Now as much as I may complain about it out here, you can't deny how beautiful the landscape is!! Especially in October and all the leaves have changed colors!! This is one of our favorite annual outings, going and taking family pictures in front of the old mill!! So all in all, things are great, possums and all!

Mekynzie laughing!!

Rubber Ducky

mekynzie has started sitting up the past few weeks. My mom came in and she discovered the Mekynzie can sit up in the bathtub. It was hard to get a clear picture because she still moves so much, but I thought these were really cute of her sitting up and playing. I can't believe she is 6 1/2 months.
