Living Room Makeover!

Over Fall Break last week, Chris and his friend Ben put up this gorgeous chair rail in our living/dining room last week. We painted the chair rail (ok Chris spent about 18 hours doing two coats!), walls, and baseboards. We will hopefully make this into our new TV room to accomodate more people and have a more cozy feeling. We are having new carpet put in next week and a new sectional couch delivered next week too!!

Stay tuned for the complete look next week!















Ellie

Here are a few random pictures of Ellie! The Colts jersey is from her Auntie Sara for her 1st birthday on September 15! There are also pictures of her favorite place by the tree in the backyard. We love our dog and treat her as part of our new family!
















Camping at Shades State Park

In September, our friends got together and camped at Shades State Park. This is one of the best state parks in Indiana that I have been to. The trails are gorgeos and have rugged terrain on Sugar Creek. Camping is one of our favorite activities. We wish we could go more, but life is always so busy!





We celebrated Chris's Grandparents 60th anniversary in September!!! They are such wonderful people and set a great example of a marriage! Congratulations and we love you!



Chad and Leif's Wedding Reception

Back in September, we had a wonderful time in Ann Arbor, MI celebrating my cousin Chad and Leif's marriage! My Auntie Anne and Uncle John hosted the party at their house. Here are a few pics from the evening! Congrats Chad and Leif!
