Cottages at Oak Park

Today I am bragging about my talented husband.  While on the Mississippi Gulf Coast last weekend, Britton and I stopped by his job site in Ocean Springs, Cottages at Oak Park.   The official grand opening for the neighborhood was last Thursday.  The project looks great and fits in perfectly in the welcoming Ocean Springs community.  If you have never been to Ocean Springs it is worth a visit.  The grand opening made the local news.  You can see the news clip here.

Welcome to our niece, Lydia!

Congratulations, Brent, on completing your third year of Dental School! 

Reflection

 

We've had a lot going on the past few months resulting in a lack of post.  Let's be honest though,  I'm not really the the most consistent blogger anyway.  For anyone still reading, here are some sneak peaks to some projects we've been completing (or nearly completed) around the Casa da Jones lately.  Check back for more pictures this weekend....but I make no promises!  Spring like weather is forcasted for the weekend and Angie has a new found love for herding cows at our neighbor's farm.  I'll let you in on her talents soon. 

Snow Day

 

It is another day with a beautiful white blanket covering everything.  I decided I should post the photos from the eight inch snowfall we had at the beginning of January.  It was quite the surprise for us!

A local photographer created this time lapse of the snow.

Oh Christmas Tree

This year Britton and I decided to go for the real deal... a live Christmas Tree.  The past two years we decorated my grandmother's artificial table top tree.  With the living room and the dining room of the house somewhat settled we decided to get a real tree since Britton had never had a real tree before.  We drove south of Oxford to Springwood Christmas Tree Farm to cut down our own tree.

In the cabin they had hot cider and Christmas Cookies.

 Merry Christmas!

Wicker Chair

I bought this chair at a local antique store.  

I loved the size and shape of the chair, but could forgo the flower painted on the chair.  It was nothing a little paint wouldn't fix. 

Screen Porch

We took the day off of work on Monday to work on our screen porch.  It is about to be perfect weather for sitting out on the screen porch and enjoying the weather.  We had to cut the screen on the porch to remove the refrigerator from the house, and Angie had created two other holes in the screen. 

Removing the old screen.

Enlarging and moving the door opening.  The door was a single door and we made it a double door.

Staining the screen doors.

Proof that I do more than just take pictures!

Angie can't resist posing for a photo.

So Long Sweet Summer

What a wonderful summer!  We got so much accomplished on the house!  (I'll save that for another post, though.)  As fall sneaks in I wanted to post a few pictures from the summer that never made it to the blog.

Blueberries in our back yard.  I froze some to make Spiced Blueberry Muffins this fall.
