From 3 to 4- Welcome our newest sweetie Scout

Our newest heart throb, Scout

My oldest baby, Audre

The cuties together

A new Home, A new Love!
Along with that love comes a new baby. Welcome Scout, the newest pal in crime and home repair. It was time that Audre got a sibling, an only chile for 6 years.
We need the extra hands/paws in making this house a home!

It's Our Neighborhood Association- Malcolm X and Angela Davis too

Melanie and I went to our first neighborhood association meeting last night. Much to my amazement, I live in the general Westview Neighborhood but also belong to this delightful sub group called "It's Our Neighborhood". It's only one block with signs marking off the areas.
What a cutie place!
I was pleasantly reminded of the meeting with a community calendar placed in my mail box. Yes, a calendar with reminders of meeting dates, yard cleaning and friendly reminder from Malcolm X and Angela Davis!!! How gangsta does it get! Keep It's Our Neighborhood Safe by an means necesary.

The meeting had 7 folks, the majority old enough to be my grand parents. Folks who have lived in the neighborhood since in 1969!!
I left the meeting smiling on the inside, stoked about being a part of this community, and working on planning a meet and great in the next 6 weeks.

Yippee!!! Home ownership is super dope!!

Why I Am Mad at the Sellers of my House

You would think that if you buy a house that they will remove the lock boxes for you. Well I have two and they have not removed them yet. I have been in the house for 3months and the most the sellers have done is sent me the key with no directions on how to remove it. Perhaps it is a sign to remove the forboding security door. If I remove the door no more lock boxes!!

I want the lock boxes gone!!! NOW!

The Right Pink- Blend of Magic Wand and Pink Kiss

I finally did it! we found it! the perfect pink. It has been a while since I have been able to blog, but after 3 attempts and some mixing I finally found the right pink.

I have painted my walls a lusious pink kiss and my fireplace wall is a mix between a magic wand and a pink kiss!! Aren't these names the best!!

Promise more pics to come!
