Home Improvements

I love adding little things to our house that make it seem more like home. We usually go in spurts...and there's been fewer spurts since Andra was born! We've got some small improvements planned for this summer, but since it was so crummy outside this weekend, we finally did 2 tiny little improvements. And they each involve pictures. Imagine that! I love being surrounded by pictures in my house! Bare walls make me crazy. So I've been trying to cover our walls one by one.

This weekend, we FINALLY put these pictures on our dining room wall. I got these frames for my birthday in February...2 months later, I finally got around to hanging them up! They're all photos from our Japan trip in the Fall of '06. It was such an incredible trip, I'm glad we're finally displaying some of our great memories. That was Project #1... (Thank you, Dad, for all your great measuring lessons over the years...only one's a little crooked!...I'll fix it later)

Project #2...we added to "Andra's wall." This wall is right outside her nursery. My friend Megan gave me the wall letters when I was pregnant (thanks, Megan!). The letters go up so easily...they're from a website called Make an Expression. I know the woman who owns the company from my days in Lexington.

It's not much, but our house is feeling a bit more homey now!
