meet ashes

We have a new cat! Our friend Sallie needed a home for her cat, Ashes, so she brought Chloe’s new sister to our house on Friday night. Ashes is a gray calico who is very affectionate, but doesn’t like to be picked up. She and Chloe have been separated and so far have hissed at each other under the door. All of the cat literature we can find says to introduce two cats very slowly, so we’ll probably continue to keep them separate for awhile. But hopefully they’ll eventually reach a point where they can happily hang out! Some pics of the cats (plus a print I got at a garage sale this weekend…)

it’s a home

On Sunday, David’s family came over along with his Grammy Benner & Aunt Linda. Having guests was good motivation to get things in order. We’ve made major strides and I’m quite happy with where we are. Here are some pics!

settling in

I think all of our boxes are now upacked. A few pictures are even hung on the walls! The house is finally starting to feel like a place I would want to spend time. We’ll try to get a few more things done before next weekend when we have several guests, but overall, things have really come together. Hopefully we’ll post some pictures soon, but it’s really best in person (hint,hint).

The flowers are a housewarming gift from our neighbor, Carol. It’s nice to feel welcome.
