Welcome to our life.

Branson

Two weeks ago my parents went to spend sometime down in Branson. They were staying in a lovely log cabin/lodge type timeshare and invited us to come down and spend a few days with them. So, we packed our bags, rented a car, and drove the 4 hours to Branson. We were only there for a day and a bit but we enjoyed the time away. We saw the dam at Table Rock Lake, a riverboat where you can go on a dinner cruise and be entertained by a dog show (!?) and Alex enjoyed eating steak three meals in a row!

The Lodge was behind the Andy Williams Theater back in the woods.

My latest project

A few weeks ago my grandmother helped me make new pillows for our couch and a matching table runner. I was quite pleased with the results. I'm hoping to sew a bit more this summer. Perhaps I'll get some curtains made for our bare windows.

I need you in my house because you're my home.

I realized the other day that we've never really posted pictures of our apartment. As you can see it still needs a little work- there are no pictures on the wall and there are some windows in desperate need of curtains. But, for the most part it is a warm and cozy place. We are certainly glad we can call it home!

Road work.

One of the major highways in Saint Louis has been shut down and is under construction. We snapped these pictures a few weeks ago as we were driving across an overpass.
