My little boy is officially back in school! Since he's a full-week student, we enrolled him in a combination of PreKindergarten and Junior Kindergarten this year. So hopefully he'll be ready for Kindergarten next year. Although I think this year is going to be more challenging for us than for him since we're the ones who have to keep these class schedules straight! So far we had to attend 2 welcome day celebrations and 2 parent orientation sessions. By the time B is done at this school he will have attended almost all of the classes that they offer!
The long weekend enabled us to do some more work on the house. Three coats of cherry stain and three coats of varnish later and the front door almost matches the red windows. And you can see the supports are now in for the new front deck.
The masons worked on laying the bluestone on the front steps of the kitchen porch. It was so nice to finally cover up all that concrete!
And I absolutely love our new side door into the garage. The hinges were salvaged from a junky screen door that we're throwing away and the handle was the original one that went with the previous door. Two coats of black paint on the hardware and voila! It looks wonderfully medieval! Now if we can only find garage doors to match this, we'll be all set!

Seriously, your house looks so beautiful, I am really happy for you because it will be a gorgeous place to live!
Ned goes to Kindergarten next year and part of me is dreading it because he is growing up too fast and the other part is relieved because it means less "day care" money to pay out!
I will be calling you for contractor recommendations (actually, forget calling-- I'll be quizzing you over pizza!) I LOVE the stonework on the porch and am working on convincing the Pretend Husband we need it at the new house.
it really looks *amazing*. my sister said that -- the little lurker -- she said your house looks like something out of the movies.
it totally does!
when is the nearly new house warming?
