See? Progress!

The stars aligned: I had free time (ish) AND money in our account, so BAM...got stuff done. This past weekend was busy with LSU and Saints games, plus moving my brother and having mom and dad in town. How I found time to get things done, I'm not sure. Especially since Lolly was in Memphis and AC was with me. Oh well, stuff DID get done so let's just focus on that.

K? K.

New glass and knobs on the upper cabinets. Crown moulding will have to wait til the unit on the north side of the kitchen is done...

The completed coop (minus corner trim) - East Elevation

North Elevation - corner trim missing, also needs ramp and to be relocated to correct location

Time to show off the family!

It's that time of the year again where we order our yearly Holiday (Christmas in my family) cards to send out to our loved ones, wishing them well. But let's be real about this. If you're like us, the card is really just a chance to brag about how cute you think your kid is and you're gonna show the world! Last year was our first year with AC and we couldn't have been more happy to show her off...so we put 3 pictures of her on our card. hehe.

Incidentally, if you're in the market for a great place to get your Holiday Cards, Shutterfly has what you need! The great thing about Shutterfly is that they have a huuuuuuge variety of different types of cards for every occasion, not just Christmas. Their Christmas collection this year is varied and versatile. My personal favorites: Lotta Pics, Vintage, and MidCentury Inspired.

I'm not normally a calendar guy but I think I might be swayed. One of these bad boys will make grandparents or godparents swoon at the sight of their favorite munchkin, doggie, or family. I think I know a couple of people who might be getting one as a stocking stuffer this year.

I hope you guys find what you like on their website, I know I already did!

I swear I have been doing stuff...

...just nothing post-worthy. I'm going get the glass cut for the cabinets tomorrow and incidentally, I found this image of what it will look like:

Lolly isn't convinced of knobs on the upper cabinets..but this pic may change that...

Now if my brother buys his new condo this weekend he will COMPLETELY derail my chances of finishing the GD chicken coop. If I don't finish that thing soon my yard will start looking like it belongs to someone who makes meth....erm...or has it already?
