A warning...

Just a warning for anyone wanting to come visit - you might be put to work! Haha, but ooonly if you want to help out. All of it is men's work, like...painting the deck and the patio. Personally, I've never heard of painting a patio but heck, it sure looks nice. The next job will be finishing the basement, yay! Now that all of the indoor painting is done (I'll post those later when we're done decorating - funding has been cut for that since the little one arrived!), only the big things are left.

Such is life - or homeownership. I have to admit that it's much less boring owning a home than renting, and much more interesting! Like...buying curtains for the kitchen. We trekked all over the KC metro area to find just the right ones. And when we did find them, they didn't have enough of them. So it was off to Overland Park (KS). Where Helen and Martin had the pleasure of meeting the meanest people they've ever encountered. We won't be back to the OP, KS JC Penney's EVER.

Oh, and here's another photo of Isla on another walk. She loves her stroller, aww...
