April April April!

It's been a beautiful weekend in Seattle! Yesterday afternoon Grandpa Jack & Aunt Cathy came over for a visit. Cathy and Chelsea were discussing the possibilites for our new backyard. I'm excited to figure out what kind of sunlight we'll have back there and get started planting. It will be so nice to have a relaxing little space to spend outside this summer, yay!

Chelsea made us a delicious dinner Friday night, from her "This can't be tofu!" cookbook. Yum!

She's so cute in her kitty apron, made for her by Aunt Cathy. We finally have a great place for our aprons, hanging right in the kitchen, so we actually get to use them. I have one made by Aunt Cathy as well (with little peppermint candies on it) and three aprons my sister Bonnie designed for Target a few years ago. They are all super cute!

Here is the final product, yum yum! Those of you who are afraid of tofu need to try this recipe before you judge it, it's delicious! It has a peanut sauce over udon noodles, with green onions and tofu fried in soy sauce.

We've been doing some more work around the house this weekend. We've almost finished our new tv room! After painting over the last few weeks, we were lucky enough to get a floor sample sofa at a screaming deal at my work, woo hoo! And it fits perfectly in the space. We also got the wool rug from a friend of Aunt Cathy's for free--it nicely matches the side table we had and the new curtains. We have a few more pictures to hang on the wall over the tv, and then it will be complete. Stay tuned!

We hung a few more pictures on the second floor. One print in the landing, coming up from the first floor before entering the kitchen.

We've also added a few pictures to our family photo gallery. It's coming along nicely. We also hung pictures in our bedroom, and a mirror over my dresser. Maybe we will actually be ready to host a house warming party before the end of spring!
