House Painting Project!

We've been wanting to paint our since we bought it and we finally found the right time this Fall.  Adam worked super hard on this (with a couple friends) while I took a week off to potty train Isla.  We decided to keep the red but went for a brighter red and added purple trim and orange accent (as well as a light blue for the eves).  Adam finally got to a good stopping point this last weekend- although he wants to do a second coat on the trim and we haven't started the shop yet- so those will have to wait  until Spring.  It looks fabulous and I'm very thankful Adam knows how to paint houses!

Before and After.....

Pumpkin Patch #2 (Salem Weekend)

Isla and I went down to Salem last weekend and enjoyed beautiful weather and a trip to the pumpkin patch and the Oregon Gardens! Love a sunny fall weekend!

Pumpkin Patch #1

Isla and I took a little trip to the local pumpkin patch the other day on a Tuesday morning (to get out of the house while the plumber was busy working on things and we had no water).  She has the "picking out a pumpkin" step down! 

Plumbing Project

We just had all of our pipes replaced, installed a new water heater, water filter and well pump this week!  We hired a plumber to do all the work and it got done in 2 days.  Big project and we were out of water for a day and a half, but now we have  up-to-date plumbing and no more rusty, leaky pipes in the basement!
