New paint & carpet

Here are some photos of the house with the new paint job.  The kitchen went from yellow to a dusty rose color - the offical name is "Pressed Flower".  At first I thought it might be a bit much, but we adjusted to it quite well and it's a welcome change.  We decided to change the look of the living room by painting one of the wall in a different color.  I like the contrast and it makes the room look a little bigger (the blue is  a bit more grey than the photo shows, it's not quite that light).  The only thing left to do now is hang our photos. 
I have to admit, I am VERY glad that we did not do this project ourselves.  Not only did the painters do a great job, they did it quickly and we were able to get the house put back together over the weekend.  It was a long week, but it was worth it.

                   

Snow 2010

It finally snowed this year - after the weather man saying it was going to snow two times previously.  They called for 2-4 inches, but we got closer to six.  It looks really pretty.  Hopefully Erin will want to play later!

Drum Roll please......

Take a look at her!  Isn't she the cutest thing?!  Weighing in at a whopping 2 lbs, it's Shea (pronounced Shay).  She is an 8 week old black Brussels Griffon.  She was born in Bethpage, Tennessee (about an hour north of Nashville) on November 17th, and we got her on Thursday.
She and Murphy made fast friends and they are adjusting well to one another.  We are crating them together at night, which has made her transition much easier.  Murphy is doing a good job of teaching her how to go to the bathroom outside - she's definitely getting better and she will have it down pat in a couple of weeks. 
Erin absolutely adores her.  We are working on "nice touches" and setting her down gently - thankfully Shea is hearty and takes her bumps and bruises like a champ.
So this is our new addition.  Can't wait for you all to meet her.
