Updates

So, I haven't posted lately because there really hasn't been a whole lot happening around here. I've been working and we have been doing boring projects on the house...getting ready to put on storm windows, sealing the patio, clearing brush in the backyard, fun stuff like that.

I have been doing a few crafty projects...this first one was a gift for my mother-in-law for her birthday, the second is my fall "Welcome" sign for our house, and the third is a little chalkboard/magnet thing for my niece Abbey for her birthday.

Also, our mums bloomed. They were so pretty! They're not as pretty now - the color has kind of faded. They were pretty for a few days though!

Lastly, Nathan's birthday was Monday and we celebrated by having dinner at home with just the three of us (Kona being the third) and then he got to open his present. First, a little background. When he was growing up my sweet husband LOVED playing with Legos. He built rocket ships and all kinds of things. He also loves architecture, in particular, Frank Lloyd Wright's designs (see earlier posts). Well, the good folks at Lego partnered with someone and made some architecture sets of Legos, three or four of which are FLW buildings. So, I got Nathan the Fallingwater set for his birthday. I was a little worried that he'd think it was silly or that he'd outgrown that kind of thing but as you can see below, my fears were unfounded. As soon as we ate dinner, he had it out of the box working on it. Now the only issue is going to be finding a place to display it after he's done!

We have Abbey's birthday party this weekend and then we are going on a cruise next week so I should have plenty to post after we get home!
