Catching up

So I have a terrible cold/flu. It has really knocked me down. My parents generously came and got Cecilia today so I could recover. I have had the laziest day. So nice. That meant it was time to update the blog. So much has happened. As you will find out as you read all the posts. We bought a house, did some remodeling, went to France, moved into our new house, and hopefully next week will have sold our old house. Whew! So read on to hear all about it.

Baby Birds

Shaun noticed a nest above the front door of our new house right before we left for France. It had one beautiful blue robin egg. The nest is in a awkward place, but it had to stay. When we got back, there was a broken egg on the ground and two pink, brand new baby birds in the nest. Not sure what happened, but we had two brand new babies. That has to be some good omen for our new house. They were ugly, but cute. Shaun set up a ladder inside the door so we could peak at the birds through the window. It has been so fun for me to watch these babies grow up. Here is a collage of the pictures we have taken. Sorry they are not the best quality, but this is the best we could do given where they were. They were all taken within about 2 weeks, they grew up fast! The babies have already flown the coup!

New House

We bought a new house in Holladay. It is fairly close to our old house, much bigger and newer than it too. We didn't like some of the things in the house and decided to remodel them before we moved in. It turned into a bigger project and more time intensive than we thought, but don't all remodel projects? We were only a little bit off our timing and had only one minor show stopping problem. Not bad huh? Here are a couple of pics of the new house.
