Painting, Drapes, Rainstorms and BBQ

A few days after Scott started work, Mom Ogden came out for a visit. She is an interior designer, and was wonderfully helpful with selecting paint colors, laying out room arrangements (complete with a to-scale blueprint of the house), and in shopping for furniture. (We ended up finding "the perfect" couch at a consignment store she located online.) She also made beautiful, custom, curtains for three rooms before she left. (Pictures to follow). Although we all know the real reason she came-- Grandma just can't stay away from Ian's chubby cheeks.

While she was here, we also ate a lot of Texas BBQ. And got trapped in several torrential rainstorms. I now really feel like we are in Texas.
