More House Work (and Storm)

Katie’s parents were in town last weekend so we got alot (for us) done with the house.

Katie’s Mom had done a bit of sewing and made curtains for Logan’s room. You can also see the ceiling fan that I had installed.

Next you’ll see the bumper pads for the crib that Katie’s Mom sewed to match the curtains and other primary colors we have in there. You can also see the quilt that my Mom had made for Logan that we mounted up on the wall above his crib. This is a replica of the one that my grandma gave me when I was born.

Here’s the guest bedroom with new curtains that Katie’s Mom sewed that were re-purposed from something Katie’s Aunt had done. Also, another ceiling fan I installed for our guests to sleep comfortably through the night now.

Here’s a good shot of the spare bedroom. Katie hung up some of the pictures I took while on my trip to San Francisco to visit Brian back in 2005. Katie’s Aunt also gave us the single bed for more sleeping spots in the house.

Katie’s cousin, Julianne, brought us a present that we had to prominently display on the mantle. She took her favorite picture from our wedding last summer, our wedding invitation, and had it very nicely framed. She also wrote a nice little note on the back for us. Also, thanks to Andy and Abby for the house warming gift of the Red Raiders blocks.

Here’s the biggest new piece in the house. Our new dining table. I sadly had to break down the poker table that had been there for several months and put it in the spare bedroom. Don’t worry, we can still bust it out for poker nights. Katie’s parents were gracious enough to gift us their current dining set. Katie’s Mom even reupholstered the chairs for us!

Now back to some of my handiwork. Katie’s Dad found a great deal on some trees in Houston and decided to bring some up for us. The next two pictures you’ll see the trees that we managed to plant in the backyard to break up our postage stamp sized yard.
