Hiking and Squirrel Hunting in the Creek

We took advantage of some perfect weather this afternoon and hiked about a half mile up the creek bed.  We brought some air soft guns to make the walk more interesting but they just slowed us down.  I think Sheelagh could be a cover girl for Cabela's!  All of these photos were taken on our property.

So many Projects so little time

So, here we are at our new house.  I love it.  unlike our last house it was move in ready.  That said, I would be lying if I said that I didn't have a list a mile long as to what I want to do to the house and surrounding land.  My first and easiest project I will post later was to paint a movie screen onto the wall. Job 1 of about 40 hopeful project.....check.  Good thing we are planning on living here forever:)

For now, my loooong list will just have to wait.  I am going to school and taking care of my mom who moved in with us a month ago.  My first school break is coming up in a few weeks and I am torn between doing absolutely nothing but lounge in bed and read and painting the small section of wood that is in the front of our house.....it is red...bizzare.  The rest of the house has siding that is a nice neutral color, but the front of the house has a red brick half way up and then vertical wood planks the rest of the way that are painted red.  ick.  Not my favorite look.  SO I am debating---- white or the beige?  What do you think?  I suppose a picture would make it easier to decide, right?  Maybe the next time I am supposed to be studying but can't look at the properties of joint capsules or connective tissues anymore I will post a picture :)

Goodbye Ivy Hill

Welcome to Seventh Hevans where we will post the occasional update and share our progress as Sheelagh's Pinterest boards come to life. :)

We said goodbye to Ivy Hill on June 28th, 2013.  The house sold in four days!  We'll miss our friends and our soft close drawers but we needed a lot more space to harness all of our craziness!  We're now on three glorious acres and enjoying our spacious six bedroom walk out rambler with a master suite that we affectionately call "The Apartment." 

Here's a photo of Ivy Hill in all of its Pre-closing glory.
