Hello Autumn...Welcome!

Yes, today is the first full day of Autumn!! Last night our temperature got down to 31 degrees, our first official freeze of the season...which helped change some leaves to their yellow lushness. Also, we lit another fire in our wood-burning stove because that "official freeze," made it cold in the house. Okay...so you will see two pictures of our house...with NEW paint colors! Jeff and I were so over the tan walls every where...so we went to Home Depot yesterday and I painted the rest of the day and most of the night to get the job done! The dining room area is painted with "warm nutmeg," and the office area is "spicy Cayenne." The pictures NEVER give the colors justice...but for those of you that will be joining us for the kids' birthday party; you will get to see in real life! Wonderful! It has improved our home so much! Makes it feel more warm and welcoming and cozy (of course). Jeff was cute, he put it like this..."Before I felt like we were living in a college dorm room, with all the light colored walls. Now I feel like we are grown-ups living like grown-ups." ;-)
