Your place reminds me of our first apartment....same beige carpet, same white walls. However, I loved it because it was ours....together and that made me truly happy!:) Enjoy this special time.:)
Slushy messiness just means Spring is around the corner. Don't laugh! A girl can hope.;)
I LOVE the Mexican tiles! I have secretly looking up real estate in Taos, NM and Flagstaff, AZ. It hasn't happened for a while that I wish myself away from the cold here in MN, but lately, I've fallen into the temptation of the MLS! Trains are the best. We have a train store in St. Paul called Choo Choo Bob's that Nick keeps talking about. I should probably do his 3rd birthday party there! "Moment savored"....love that! That's why we blog.:)
Sad for you that Pippo is gone.:( That little high chair looks so lonely. I LOVE the shawl....that color is something else. I really want to knit a cowl for myself to keep my neck warm, but that won't help my arms. Maybe a shawl is the way to go. Only I need the ability to move freely around the house so I'll have to find just the right thing.;)
Merry, Merry Christmas to all of you! Felices Fiestas from MN!
I love all of your nativity sets and the knitting basket! I think you posted the link to the basket in a previous post. I'll have to go back and find that! Thanks for hosting.:)
I remember reading somewhere he is a doctor. My husband is, too. He's a Doctor of Chiropractic which I lovingly tease him about. I say he's not a real doctor so as a joke I call him a "quackopractor." He pretends to be upset with me, but it is playful banter. However, his profession does take a lot of flack from the other disciplines. I had no clue THAT is a rank in the army. You learn something new everyday!;)
Just curious to know why Sukie's husband is called, The Quack. I think I know why, but I'm dying to hear your reason.:)
I'm so glad Nick, Natasha, and Francis made a surprise visit to see you all! He's an absolutely beautiful baby.:) And, I must say, I love your Christmas cactus.....I want one, too. Feel better...prayers are continuing for you all. No worries about the Advent deco. around your house. It seems peaceful, beautiful, and filled with anticipation just as it is!
Glad to hear your mom is feeling better.:) All the photos are just wonderful, BUT I had to take a moment to comment on the one of Pippo and Brinkley. I almost flipped because we had a dog for a month that we had to surrender to rescue. It just didn't work out for us which still makes me sad. One of our oldest daughters has fallen in love with Westies and I just had to show her that pic. She flipped, too! Boys do need dogs....ours need a dog, but our family is just not at a place to have a dog right now. It sounds like you've thought it through. Dogs are very expensive and just like children, BUT they don't grow up to speak or take care of themselves, they don't wear underwear, and don't use toilet paper. Brinkley is really cute, though.:)
