This post is backtracking a bit (honestly because I’m running out of material for the week!). Sometimes I go through Alex’s phone… not to be nosy I promise! But to see the photos he’s taken that I haven’t seen. I found some really awful triple-chin sleeping photos that I will NOT be sharing.

Here’s a few of our (hopefully) last snow of the winter. It was actually a beautiful and believe-it-or-not warm day. It’s pretty funny listening to the cars on our street try to drive up-hill on our little, windy, one-way street the morning after a fresh snow. Anyone concerned about the bumper of their parked car should not park here… Especially when Alex is behind the wheel of a U-haul. Ya it snowed while we were moving in too of course.

There are some beeeeautiful flowers here in NYC but I am missing the fields of Bluebonnets and the warm weather that comes along with them in Texas. We took this photo off the highway while we were visiting Houston for the Watson wedding.

We are hoping to get a little garden growing outside our window that faces to the alley. We bought a wax leaf tree last weekend and poor Alex had to lug our new baby onto the subway. Annoyed commuters were definitely smacked in the face a few times. Lo siento. Still not sure how people move large items around the city. I guess just pay for delivery. Too cheap. Not happening. My sweet husband can handle that. Right Alex… right?

First completed “crafty” project while in NYC. Man I wish we had a before picture of this table and chairs set… might have to go on a craigslist hunt to find it. Alex and I bought 4 chairs and a table w/ a leaf for $30 right before we left Austin because we knew we couldn’t afford anything up here. They were in rough shape to say the least. Who uses a light cream fabric to cover kitchen chairs? Gross. We spray painted the metal a slate-blue and covered the chairs with a satin orange, dot fabric. Turned out a little too “hook em” for my taste but overall they look really cute. Lot of work though. First time upholstering anything so I got a little staple-gun happy.

Can’t wait to have our first dinner party!

Also a big thanks to Brian for helping strip the gnarly old fabric. We found some goodies in thur..
