Heya,

Check it out, the Christmas 2008 tree.  We went out and pre-selected it before the snow and cold arrived.  This is all Nat’s doing btw, good call.  We can go and cut it down anytime after Thanksgiving.  The good news is that they have plenty of tall trees here and we can keep going back for a while (the place we’ve been going to has run out of tall fatties).  The photo quality is pretty lame (cell cam) but you can see that it’s a tree amongst trees.  It’s 12ft tall and ~8ft around and works for us

OK, here’s the deal. I’m asking family and friends (whomever may be reading this) to give us a hand. Natalie and I need to decide whether or not to hang this sign above the entrance to the family room. One of us is for it, and the other is unsure. Please take a look at the pics and let me know what you think in the comments of this post (just click where it gives the count of the comments directly under this entry). Take whatever you like into consideration, the color, the text, up to you. If we hang it, it’ll be centered between the top of the door and the ceiling. We’d REALLY appreciate your input.

In other news, we’re making a LOT of progress with the painting. We’ve completed the sitting room, the dining room (we’re having the room measured for a new carpet as well) and we’re into the kitchen now. That’s the room that’s taking forever, we’re removing the border and most of of the wall is trim and detail work. It’s coming along though, we’ve got 2-3 more weeks before completion and I can’t wait – well, 2-3 more weeks if we can pick a color for the room…
