a little outside time

There is a wildlife refuge not far from Dover. We headed out to do a little hiking. I turned out to be very little hiking because the mosquitoes were thick! But we were still able to see plenty of wild life anyway. Hopefully with our bikes and the cool weather coming we will get to spend more time exploring outdoor Delaware.

another one already

Rhone just keeps growing up. I love it and dread it at the same time. This last month was an eventful one for Rhone. He has mastered crawling, opening cabinets and drawers, and standing up with objects. He loves having room to crawl around and play in. He has one of the most expressive personalities for a little guy. His sense of humor cracks me up. He can give himself and drink and is starting to use a spoon. He even got his first haircut and was a champ with the noisy clippers. I included a picture of one of my favorite things about Rhone his feet. His toes are all almost the exact same length and I love how his rolls are white where they didn't get tanned by the sun. I still get plenty of cuddles when he gets tired and am enjoying them while I can.

We are in!

Everything at closing went great. Rhone was even well behaved. Most of the boxes are out and most of our belongings are in (well you know besides the ones that disappeared in the move). We are finally feeling settled in. It look longer than we thought it would especially with putting in all the blinds, curtains ceiling fans, and painting. My family has been asking for some pictures of the inside of the house so here are some of them. The bedrooms still aren't finished yet, so no pictures of them (our bed is actually on the floor still since part of the frame got "lost"). There are collages because I could do them without internet at home so hopefully posting will be shorter while I have internet. Don't forget to click and enlarge them.


I loved my free hand-me-down table from college, but not quite as much as I love our new tent sale find that seats 8.
The paint color is called "High Tea". It's different but I love it. Ben calls it "hippie paint" because it's the no VOC stuff and it really was odorless and we painted this color in 1 coat!


For using what we already owned (well minus the TV and the ladder shelf) I think it turned out pretty good- we still have a few finishing touches we need to do.
