Casa Archuleta

We had another Grandma invasion. Ellen came for Father's Day weekend, and as Lindsay says, "She turns everything to gold." Projects are Ellen's favorite way to interact and boy do we have projects.
It is an amazing feeling to have someone who "gets" us to talk to.

She helped us rescue this table from the garage & shabby-chic-a-fied it up for perfect use in our kitchen.


Ellen planted veggies, I am just praying I don't kill them. (Or the slugs, eek!)
Our visitors have been troopers, seeing as we have virtually no furniture. That was another great thing about Ellen's visit. She brought a queen bed frame with her & stayed with the boys so Matt & I could peruse the strange offerings of craigslist. We actually have a sofa now. This was all in addition to the time she sent us off on a date & paid for it! The boys had their fill of M&M's, homemade tortillas, & Grandma's funny stories about their dad. Thank you, Ellen, we miss you so much already.

  4. Knock...knock...where are you? Over two weeks since a post...I might be going thru withdrawals.

    On an Aubrey note...I went out with two girlfriends last night and on our way we stopped into Anthropologie downtown and I bought a 1980's Aubrey bow...and then wore it the rest of the night with my curls. You would have been SO proud. ♥
