{Mostly} Wordless Wednesday ...

When drawing our house prints and deciding where to place our house on our property Nick knew {from the start} he wanted to be able to see the sunrises from the front side of the house and the sunsets from the backside. This was one that I watched while cleaning up after dinner last week. Crazy, huh?! It looks like a painting!


We had our first snowfall that stuck {but was gone the next day}. The color of our house {red} and the white snow are such a beautiful contrast.

A little reading before bed.

& a new "bigger boy" haircut!

Porter's latest artwork... {all over the changing table, baby monitor, fan in his bedroom, and closet door. Thank goodness for magic erasers!}

Quick Update ...

Just a quick update with a few pictures since I have had a few many  requests for some updated pictures because it's been two weeks {oops!} since I last posted. I have been seriously neglecting both of my blogs. Turns out moving into a new house, trying to unpack, organize, hold parent teacher conferences, and love on your two babies non-stop is pretty time consuming. Who would have thought?

I will be back with a much more detailed post soon {hopefully this weekend!} but until then here are a few pictures of the latest happenings on the farm ...


Porter loves watching the horses. He talks to them.

We put the grills in all the windows. Very farmhouse. I love them.


First meal. On purple plates with green plastic spoons {we still can't seem to find our silver wear...}

Our fireplace in the works...

And all done! I love it.


Someone is pretty excited about the new house! Love.

& just because they are so cute.

Granite was installed...finally!

The porch railing was completed!

Full view of porch/house with the first dusting of snow {since then it's been in the 50's. That was just a tease!}

First fire in the fireplace!

Tile back splash was installed. This is the little nook by the mudroom.

Kitchen. Both pictures were taken before grout. I will take updated pictures this weekend.

Going for a walk down the driveway {1/4 mile one way}. Porter was already off and running ...

Awesome sky on the way back from our walk!


My big boy "posing" for a picture.
All these were taken with my not so great I-phone camera. I will try and get some pictures with my real camera this weekend since these pictures are horrible at showing the real colors of things! I'll be back soon!
