My contact with city transit stopped by the house to let me know the bus stop in front of our house is being moved--Yay! In fact, this particular bus line is being moved off our block completely--AMAZING!

CHRISTMAS!!! and more

Even with a new baby, I still had to do a little decorating since this is our house's first proper Christmas in a very long time! I really really really wanted to put lights, etc. up outside but the house is still being painted, porch floor still being finished, and the front yard is trying to grow grass. I promise next year I will "wow" you... So anyways, here are a few places of Christmas flare in our very old house:

parlor

parlor - 9 1/2 foot tree!

Exterior doors are also being painted. Back and are side doors finished--we even have two rocking chairs on the side porch now! The front door paint started today but is by no means finished.
