Baby Shower April 5 2009

All our good friends came over for a baby shower brunch on Sunday. It was great to catch up with folks we haven't seen in a while! And thanks to everyone for such awesome baby stuff- our friends have such good taste:)

Feb-March 2009

The ceilings are very very high:

The Wallers...it's all their fault.

Re-using old doors, so glad they did not get trashed!

We saved a few original windows to re-use on interior walls; great for cross-ventilation. and it would've just been a shame to throw them out.

Cool old lav door saved for pantry:

Moving old windows to a safe place:

Baby approves (we hope!)

One good-lookin' baby

The belly's getting bigger by the minute :)

Skihaus '09

Our second year in the house on Blueberry Lake. I (Kate) was a little jealous of the skiing, hot-tubbing, and Sazersap-drinking (not pregnant lady activities), but Stef and I managed to get a lot of crafting done and some movies watched. And we cooked. A lot.
