So, this past week has been one of painting - not so much of coding like usual…

Lots of painting.

I would like to thank Jess’ parents for coming up and helping us by painting our family room, office, and nursery. Having the help made getting so much work done possible.

This post however, is less about that particular bit of painting, but more about the amazing work that my sister Michelle was able to do when she came up this weekend. Now, my sister is artistic - but I never imagined how nicely our Dr. Seuss nursery would turn out.

First things first, we had to start with a blank canvas.

This is the side of the room on the left as you enter. Near the door.

So, I’ve been gone for a little longer than I would like to admit. What it really comes down to is being busy. Of course. I have a real excuse though! I’m going to be getting married. I’m going to be a dad. I just bought a house. I just started a new job. Things are moving fast and I haven’t had time to write.

Now, I have more pictures - but they are on my camera, and well, I haven’t had any time since we closed to really do anything except work at U of R, travel, and work on the house. So, I can only share the ones that are on my phone.

I have gone from programmer to “house guy” lately, so I promise to update when I get some time. Maybe I’ll post details of some of my projects here.. hmm..
