So here we are, and here we stay. We've been settling in. There will be more photos of finished rooms later, when we get to it.
Em came to help us settle in. There's nothing like a puppy to make your home feel lived in and exciting all at the same time.
This is Isabel, Aaron's friend's puppy.
And this is Em with her and Aaron's Socrates! Isn't he sweet? He's very bright-eyed and very cute and should come visit me often. Or I'll start visiting him. Or both.
We had the library mostly set up for company when we had our party. A couple of the chairs have been moved back into the living room. We are dreadfully short of chairs and will definitely be buying more.
And there is the little matter of hanging the paintings. Nevertheless, we have mostly new bookcases, almost as many as we need, and the books are properly arranged in them and not just flung in, and I love being in the library. It's good to be home.
