Baby Showerz & House Decor

Here's a few pics of the b.shower that our outstanding friends - the Fitches and Parlas - threw us here in Bend! It was a complete blast. We heart you guy soooo much! And THANK YOU ALL for the crazy amazing gifts... we're so blessed!

Well, it's been several weeks since we moved from our old "house in the stix" to our new "killer little pad" - it's actually a normal house (just a few years old) with all of life's modern amenities. We are pretty much settled in and love love love the new place. It's funny how much you appreciate the small things in life after being without for so long... like central air :). Here are some pics of our decorating skillz (or lack thereof), and some pics of the baby room (Court's mother, Marsha, flew up from SoCal for the baby shower and spent several days helping Courtney get all the baby stuff ready - mad props to you grandma!).

Court found this stick in our neighbors yard, she stole it fair and square and put it to good use. The image on the right is our new BAR area (sweet antique table we snatched at goodwill), it only has one bottle of Scotch there (for celebrating Joelles birth) but believe you me, there'll be plenty more where that came from once Court can start having some drinks again.
--------------------

Court and her mom did TONS of creative decorating for the baby's room. They reupholstered all sorts of furniture, painted and got the baby room ready for Joelle. Also, we have a sweet random "mini-loft" in our new place that has become our "shelf-o-random things & books". It sits above and around our living room - it's awesome.

Here' some of the gals work. We're going with some autumn colors and a bird theme. LOVE the lamp... created by Court.
