Celebrating Lauren

NOVEMBER 2014
I love that every year, we drop everything and spend the day together as a family celebrating our sweet Lauren.  This year, we headed towards New Haven to explore the Yale Peabody Museum and bum Ikea.  We hit a bakery in true Daddy fashion and enjoyed sampling lots of sweets.

The Peabody was a great way to spend a good part of the day.  The museum has a wonderful collection of dinosaur bones, ancient Native America treasures, and even had a diorama of The Kaibab complete with a white-tailed squirrel!  What are the chances!

House Progress

OCTOBER 2014

Salvaged brick to fill in the space under a "new" window.  This space used to be a door that went out in to the sunroom.  Brick demoed from the 2nd floor near the chimney, and the window used to be the West-facing window in Aubrey's bedroom.

I loved, and will always love, this corner hutch.

Kitchen demo.  Looking a little spooky!

And.... totally creepy.  That's the plaster ceiling all over the floor, tar-painted brick, and zero insulation you see!
