House update Friday

So our house is coming along. I'm not going to say it feels like home yet, but hopefully we're getting there. The office will one day be put-together and we hung some shelves so we'd have prime spots for family photos. Doug made his first trip to Ikea on Sunday! He thought it was a pretty cool place, yet "didn't realize it was going to be an all day thing." There were several times when he asked me where we were and how many floors the place was, hehe. We didn't do too much damage, got what we went there for: a big shelf for the office, a dormat and a recycling bin. Doug promptly checked those items off his list. I customized the dormat for our porch (if it's big enough to call it that) and I think it turned out pretty good. Ikea $4.99 dormat + some black paint and voila!
Our yard is pretty sad. The front needs grass and the landscaping is puking green everywhere, no flowers. There's a ton of rosebushes in the back that are in need of some major lovin'. I started pruning them and the yellow one is blooming like crazy. It's fun to have roses in the house everyday! I trimmed this one and noticed it had 2 centers!...do roses have DNA? Wonder if it's a gene mutation...oh Doug, can you get on this?

Ok, so here's what you guys really want to read & see...Charlotte:
I think Charlotte will eat anything I give to her, there's nothing yet she's turned her nose up at. Not even the peas or green beans, or green beans mixed with sweet potato which I have to admit did not look appetizing whatsoever. I've started giving her finger foods. Puffs, yogurt melts and small pieces of fruit, avacado and sweet potato. As you can see, she makes a mess but has fun doing it.

oh yeah, and I've found 3 more lizards in the house (well one in the garage). I'm starting a lizard count on the side here...stay tuned to see who wins me or the lizards.
