Making our patio cute

Because the weather was so nice this week, we decided to go on a mission today to get patio furniture. We bought 4 chairs, a glass table, and cute lights. We're ready for spring!

How I spent my Sunday afternoon

For the past few weeks we've been setting into our new home. We worked on every room except for our spare room, which is where all of our boxes and odds & ends landed. But, we finally spent some time in there yesterday making it into our "den" and making it cozy for guests.


I ordered some neat decals from Leen the Graphics Queen and got to sticking! Let me tell you, it's a nifty process, but it took forever to stick each of those leaves on. But, we love our little tree with the purple birdies in it. What do you think?

Summer nights

I love how late the sun sets in the summer time. This is 8pm in Berkeley. It's still quite light!

Sunday evening picnic dinner on our balcony

Saturday morning at our house

I am going to miss this Eastern view of the hills during breakfast.

My family :)

We were in need of some kitty snuggle pics!

Recovering with the kitties

As you can see, I'm doing much better today!


"What is going on here?" Kitty Mom wonders.


"Come here Em, I've got to tell you a secret," said Stuart.


"Just kidding. I only wanted to lick your head."

I'm home and there is a kitty in my lap

Our new friend...

the green compost bucket!!! are we so berkeley now, or what?

a lazy Saturday afternoon

when we returned home we found this...

...a letter from Dave's sister in a special pouch all ripped up. inside all we found was some blue tissue paper and a purple note reading "he was lonely!" it's the mystery of the day.

Housewarming Brunch

We decided to have a little brunch gathering to welcome Dave into the house officially and to show off our cute little home to our friends.


"some" of us were quite tuckered out afterwards.

we're home!

my home, the construction zone

i'm back!

sorry i've been neglecting you dear blog readers. after returning from Tahoe to a home that was going to begin some major construction, things have been quite hectic. i will post pics of the port-a-potty that lives in front of our house soon.

in case you didn't already know/assume this: kittens hate jackhammers.

I have a new roommate

i love to move furniture

sometimes i just get an urge, i have a vision, and i have to move the furniture around.

Home Improvements collage

We stored Twan in the seat of the bay window, we installed a new toilet seat, set up the new dresser, put together the shreadder, and finally hung the star lights! It was a lovely Sunday evening filled with Home Improvements.
