The Te-Tes: More a home than a house now....
http://thetetes.blogspot.com/2009/09/more-home-than-house-now.html
Saturday, September 12, 2009. More a home than a house now. We've been so busy since school started that we haven't had a lot of time to work on the house. Peter's been dutifully watering and mowing, so the yard looks great, but not much else has changed at the house. So, I commissioned my mom to help me learn how to sew over Labor Day weekend. "How hard can it be to make curtains? I thought. (What an idiot). Before mom and I set out for Hobby Lobby, Peter, mom and I went to Lowe's and Home Depot to chec...

The Te-Tes: December 2008
http://thetetes.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 14, 2008. Send your own ElfYourself. Thursday, December 4, 2008. Christmas time is here. Yes, I know, it's just a few weeks off, but it's close enough for me). This week we've been having all manner of merriment, we bought our tree and decorated it and tonight we decorated the outside of the house. I also stumbled upon a website that makes really cool personalized ornaments, so I got one to commemorate our big year, and the wedding! Sally in her stylin' Christmas gear.

The Te-Tes: September 2008
http://thetetes.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 28, 2008. As a teacher, I feel like I look forward to the weekend just as much (if not more) than the students. It's nice to have a break after 5 days (as I'm sure it is in every profession). Since school began I've found that I have the "Sunday blues." I wake up on Sunday mornings happy that it's the weekend, but sad because it's my "last" day before I have to return to the grindstone. And I took a bubble bath. All in all, a good day. Any thoughts on combating the Sunday Blues? We visi...

The Te-Tes: Learning a new craft
http://thetetes.blogspot.com/2009/07/learning-new-craft.html
Thursday, July 9, 2009. Learning a new craft. I've been helping Peter at the store for the last couple of weeks and in our spare time, he's been teaching me how to make jewelry from a mold. So far I've made a sapphire ring and two pendants. It's a long process and when I was working on sizing the mold for my ring (after 2.5 hours) I broke it into a bunch of pieces. The molds are made from wax, so it's a little delicate. After lots of time and LOTS of help from "the pro," I have 3 lovely pieces of jewelry!

The Te-Tes: More cuties!
http://thetetes.blogspot.com/2009/08/more-cuties.html
Sunday, August 16, 2009. I had to post these! When we have kids, they're going to be so neglected. We'll have used up all our picture taking efforts. Baxter sticking his tongue at us for telling him to get off the high fence. Sally with her hand down a hole in the yard (hope something doesn't jump out and grab her). You are right, you have some cuties at your house! Good luck with school this year! August 17, 2009 at 6:30 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Jesus Loves My Tattoos.

The Te-Tes: April 2009
http://thetetes.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 25, 2009. Last week we had a frenzied "almost buy" on a different house in Burnet. The price was low and the house was in decent shape. We got excited to live so close to work and to have internet access (which we're thinking is going to be spotty at best at the lake). We made an offer, and unfortunately were turned down. But, we're OK with it. Now back to the original plan! Paints, only $5 a gallon! We love the way it looks! The finished living room! Our biggest challenge (read: P.I&...

The Te-Tes: Introducing..............Baxter!
http://thetetes.blogspot.com/2009/07/introducingbaxter.html
Monday, July 6, 2009. Peter and I have been discussing getting a new kitten for months. Sally's home alone all day and we thought she'd like a friend. Since summer time is kitten time, the Austin Humane Society lowers their fees for adoption to only $35. In fact, this is the same time of year we got Sally almost a year ago. We looked at one other kitten, but as soon as we were able to play with Nike, we knew he was the kitten for us. For your viewing pleasure:. Bax's favorite place to take a nap. This is...

The Te-Tes: Sally: The country cat
http://thetetes.blogspot.com/2009/06/sally-country-cat.html
Friday, June 26, 2009. Sally: The country cat. When we lived in the illustrious "big" town of Marble Falls, Sally would occasionally bring in her latest catch to show us/play with/eat. (See post below). She usually lays next to her catch for a while, but after a few minutes of it laying paralyzed by fear, she'll get bored and leave it where it lays. Then Peter and I get the joy of catching it and releasing it again. Wednesday alone she brought in 3 grasshoppers between dinner and us going to bed. Ah!
