Barrels of Fun
One our latest DIY projects: I’ve wanted to do something with the barrels from our wedding. For almost 2 years, they sat in the garage just collecting dust until we finally got around to turning one into a coffee table for a our newly renovated living room.
From: Notice the barrels in the background by the entrance to the tent; not the skinny, mortgage-free, well-rested kids in the foreground:
To: A new coffee table!
Special thanks to my loving husband who essentially deconstructed and then reconstructed these barrels just because his wife ‘had a fun idea.’ -
Messy eater
I don’t think these pictures fully capture the head to toe crumbs and food caked on is face and hair. He was truly proud of his work.

And then there were 3…
94 Pill Hill has been quite the active place the last 2 months; by day it doubled as both a rehab center for my mom and corporate office complex for Andy, my dad and me when we all worked from home. But on Saturday, after 7 weeks (!), my mom was finally ready and able to travel after a nasty broken foot. We drove them to Newark and they flew to Fort Meyers to start their new adventure as Florida residents.
While I don’t think anyone would have wished for the circumstances that brought us together, it was sad to see them go. We enjoyed having them join our little family for a bit and certainly appreciated the extra hands and babysitting. Andrew is especially disappointed- now it’s just him and mom in the mornings together. No more grandpa’s french toast and grandma to read him endless books!

Mommy Day!!
Andrew and Austin gave their mommies tickets to a show and day in the city for Christmas. Courtney and I maximized our ‘day off’ and loved the free time to shop, eat, drink, gossip, see friends and take in NYC. A fantastic present (i.e. Feel free to give it next year)! #mommybestfriends
