Dear friends,

SO much has happened since I last wrote!

I wanted to take an opportunity to show you some of the rooms in our little house that are staged so far.

The master bedroom:

From the doorway to the hall

From the master bath

Looking towards bathroom & closet doors

Looking towards doorway to hall

Baby room!!! (includes a corner for office too):

This fabulous crib used to be Gabe's when he was a baby--his mom had a vision to restore it to former glory and many hands went into finishing it up beautifully!

The quilt hanging over the rail was something I made before Judah was born

Looking towards the doorway to the hall

The guest room with the beautiful white metal bed:

From the doorway at the end of the hall

From the other side of the room

Notice the reclaimed dresser

Looking towards the doorway

AAAANNNNNDDD,

Here is our next project!

It is a 1,000 square feet one-story home built in the '60s on 3 acres near an up and coming ecologically conscious development on a dirt road. We intend to add 2,000 square feet of living space--and maybe even more.

More details and pics to come!!

Might I take a moment to introduce you to the newest member of our little family--Judah Alexander!

He was born November 5th, 2013 a whopping 9 lbs 11 oz, 22.5" long. Not quite as big as his daddy was when he was born (10 lbs 5 oz, 23.5") but close!!

What a joy he has been so far!! He is now 3 months old and has a little bit of a cold, so we are taking it easy today.

Here are a few pictures of our little boy--

At one month:

At two months:

(note: his weight was taken on our home scale---a couple days later at pediatrician he was 14 lbs 10 oz, whoops!)

At three months:

And a few more!

Here is Gabe's side of the family at Christmas:
