Fewer and Far Between...

As you've probably noticed, I haven't been updating as frequently on here as I once was. This weekend was the first "lazy" weekend we have had in months and it was great! We watched a lot of tv, napped on the couch, and caught up on some much needed relaxation. Andrew did a little bit of work on the front door, which more than I can say for myself. He needed to use filler in between the wood trim and the stone around the door since there were gaps around. Then he caulked around it and had to let it dry for several hours. Tomorrow we should be able to prime it after work. Then we'll eventualy get it painted to match the other trim on the house. Here is what it looks like right now.






We also stopped by a friend's Halloween party on Saturday night where there were about a million little kids running around in costumes. I'm pretty sure we were the only people there without kids so it was a little overwhelming but we still had a good time. Other than the Halloween party and church this morning, we have barely left the house all weekend!

On another note, for everyone reading this on the East Coast, our weather in Austin is finally starting to get "cooler." We had one or two nights where the temperature dipped as low as the high 40s, but the days are still pretty warm. I think on Saturday the high was 87, but for the next week the highs are in the low 80s, high 70s. The evenings are very pleasant though, and we have enjoyed taking the dogs on walks around our new neighborhood. Since we're slowing down with work on the house, we're finally being good dog owners again and taking the dogs out and exploring our neighborhood some more. There is an open field on the next block over, so one of these days we will probably experiment with letting Beamer run around there. In between walks, the dogs have been pretty good at lazing around with us the past few days.






I never put pictures up on here from my friend Catherine's wedding that we went to last weekend in Dallas. We had a great time and got to see some friends that we hadn't seen in a while. We also got to spend a few hours on Sunday morning visiting with my aunt, uncle, and cousins in Dallas. Maybe over the next few days I will post some pics from the wedding.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!
