It's been a busy time since moving into our new home and making it really work for us. All we have left to do is have the carpet on the stairs replaced, the shutters in the master bedroom installed, and some rooms upstairs painted - then there's nothing I need or want to do! I'm really pleased with the results - it's beautiful and a delight to live in.

Joey is a year old now. With the exception of his fear of the car and his dislike of going for a walk, he's a really good dog. We're still working on not jumping, but we're getting there.

I've made Easter baskets this year. They are a nice tradition and I'm glad I'm still able to do it.
