We finished painting the family room accent wall. We decided on a chocolate brown color and we really like it! Nate was excited to get the TV mounted on the wall. We are going to paint a couple of other walls and then this room will be perfect. And someday we will actually have couches that match the rest of the room...all in good time!
Our next project is the front Living Room. We purchased a new couch set (we are still waiting on the chair and ottoman to arrive). They are microfiber and chocolate brown in color.
Above the couch are Nate's Constitution pictures. There are so many of them that it was hard to find a good space for them. This is their home for now. I think they look pretty good.
This wall is painted as the accent wall right now. (Sorry, it's a really dark picture). It is a mossy green color. We don't mind the color, but there are some inconsistencies in the paint, so we are going to paint it anyway. We are thinking of doing a deep orange/ginger color, but we will see. I think that along with the brown couches and hardwood flooring would make this room very warm and inviting. We also need a window treatment for this room, but having a little difficulty because the window is too long for the standard 84" drapes and the 95" drapes would be quite long.
I am really having a lot of fun changing a few things here and there and adding our own style (which we are still discovering!).
These are our pumpkins from our garden back in Sugar City. I think we did pretty good!
This is a pumpkin made out of grapevine. Actually more difficult to do that I anticipated...but wasn't it worth it? I think so!

Ian is watching the fish swim around at a friend's house.
Isn't he so cute? His triumphant smile...he has daddy's grin.
Ian in the bouncer. Nate and his siblings used to use this, so it's tried and true. Ian didn't quite get the hang of it, but he had a good time standing up and moving around.
Ian doing his morning stretches.
Reading the newspaper with Grandma.
Grandma scooting Ian backwards on his back. He would laugh and laugh. He loved it!
Wrestling with Grandpa on the floor.
Comin' to get momma...
He's attacking!!
Ian's new toy!! The busy ball popper. It is the first toy that we have bought for him. You can see that he enjoys watching it work.
Ian strapped into his car seat for a bike ride. My niece Kourtnee is wedged in on the side.
