christmas chair

When jonny and I were first married we went couch shopping. (We were using this hand me down green couch from one of his cousins. I love hand me downs...but this was one pretty bad news.)
We headed to the green ant, a vintage furniture store in salt lake city, to find a couch. We found one we loved. It had a hole in in from the start, but it was to perfect to pass up. So long story short we have had this poor (beautiful) couch. Anyway this year we reupholstered the center section, to use as a chair. It had gotten pretty torn up over the years ...now it looks so perfect! And the other two pieces go together to form a shorter couch....its still white vinyl . Oh they just dont make 'em like they used to. Thats why we will have this couch forever. And now I can mail emily back her curved needle :) Thanks ron and sue.

warm decembers

We had a nice warm day on Monday. We have had a good long streak of above average temps.
Sadly I think its back to winter now. We took advantage of the warm day and walked across the street to the nature preserve and playground. The boys had fun running down the bike trails and climbing trees. Nora just sat happily taking it all in.
