my garden!






Spring in our yard!

















Spring is in full bloom here in College Gardens.

if you know what any of the green stuff is- let me know since i planted random things and, other than the hastas and mums- i have no idea what the other stuff is till it flowers!
the azaleas, fuschia and dogwood were already here as well as the (now past its prime) really fragrant snowball bush and the weepy looking bonsai tree. Oh and those purple things are weeds i think but they are so pretty i hate to cut them down!

random videos

i had these 2 videos on my sd card and thought i'd just upload and let this one speak for itself.


okay well... now im just showing off my cool new spice rack but please disregard the horrible old cabinets and countertops in 2010 maybe we will get around to the big remodel!

thanks aunt margaret!

House Pics

I know several of you have asked to see house pics so i will oblige but i warn you- there has been little to no decorating so far as we still have boxes to unpack etc. But this will at least give you a sense of the layout.
oh- and a bare bottom madeline appears in many pics too so thats a plus :)

Master Bedroom





Kids bathroom


Kitchen



Dining room
(this room is really the formal living room as there is a small dining room behind the kitchen for a dining room but we will eventually knock that wall out. Also, we dont really need a living room and a family room since we use the finished basement for tc etc and the living room is really enough esp with the playroom at the back)



aforementioned living room



playroom -duh




don's dungeon- soon to be the entertainment room and his office
