Today was...

Awesome. Taylors Falls and Franconia Sculpture Garden with lovely friends.

New Camera

I got a new camera! Here is my first ever self portrait and a some test shots of my favorite models.

CABIN WEEKEND!

Alyssa and Mark (and Oliver) are so awesome. They invited us to spend the weekend with them at their cabin on Lake Osakis near Alexandria. It was just what the doctor ordered. Here's what we did: slept, ate, drank, swam, napped, read books, went boating then everything all over again. Thank you so very much to Alyssa and Mark for your friendship and hospitality.

Oliver is so darn cute!

Cheers!

Capt. Alyssa

Now that is a cute family.

Handsome boat boy.

Life lately...

We've been slowly crossing things off the list around here. Home owner life is good and every day I think we love our house even more.

Here's a look at our little chalk board check list (notice any checks?)

Apparently my husband is a master craftsman because when I mentioned I was obsessed with honeycomb shelves he just up and made me some. Now they're on the wall.

Here's some art that I stole. Word has it that this was an inside job. It definitely makes this corner a little bit special.

The bike made it up. We still love this weird wall art that my Dad put together at my request.

We need to get a new step in to stop water from sneaking in to our basement. Josh and his buddy Chris went all super manly men and rented a jack hammer to tear up the old step. There will be pictures of the sweaty dreamy muscled men to come I promise.

Last, but certainly not least, Josh found this remnant of a ping pong table left in our garage. He decided to make a table for our deck out of it. I told you he was becoming some sort of a master craftsman!
