Home Sweet Home

Here is the long awaited post with pictures of our new home. Yes, we are still unpacking, organizing, cleaning, and we haven't even started the "fixer-upper" projects yet. The kitchen will be gutted and remodeled in October, which I'm half looking forward to and half not. We've been in this house three weeks so far and it's starting to feel like home, kind of. (We smudged it with sage to get the bad energy and previous renter cooties out and start fresh.) I'm so glad we have a home all to ourselves and didn't have to end up renting to someone in the basement to help pay the mortgage. Today is the first really cold and rainy day. Fall is here. The leaves are gold and orange. Yeah, I guess the mountains are beautiful.. whatever. For me it feels like winter. It's probably only 55 degrees outside, but that's as cold as I like it. There is actually snow it the mountains right now that I can see from the kitchen window. Yuck. I hate cold and winter. I don't know what I'm going to do all day with Mateo and Hayduke indoors. We were going on a walk this morning just as it started pouring down. I miss Ojai.

But on a happy note.. Here are some pictures I took a little while ago.

Mateo helps unpack his favorite toys.

Kathy and Mateo clean the kitchen.

What a good little helper.

Messy living room.
