The one that started it all...

Hello family and friends! This is the first McCarty blog post. This website is about all of us in our everyday lives. We will post new additions to the house, pictures of our hikes, runs and vacations, updates to our jobs and what you want to see the most, pictures of Cooper!


So for starters, this has been one of the most relaxing weekends we have had in a LONG time! Friday night we painted the downstairs bathroom and an accent wall in the living area. We killed 2 bottles of wine while painting, so our next project is damage control on all the base boards and ceiling. Yes, we did tape the ceiling and base boards off, but some how paint managed to end up everywhere! To say the least, painting was finally fun.


Saturday we slept in, something unheard of amongst all new parents because Cooper slept until NOON! He definitely takes after Josh. I don't know how the kid can sleep so much, but it is a blessing, especially on Saturday mornings... anyway when we finally got moving we had our first session of serious yard work. Josh had me out there on all fours pulling weeds. And I am thinking to my self, isn't this why we pay someone $35 every month to come and spray. But like a good wife, I helped. We planted lots of flowers in the front to spruce the place up and add color. I'm excited once things start to bloom and spring really kicks in. To credit Josh and his many years of lawn maintenance experience, we have the ONLY house on the block with green grass. Yes thats right, the ONLY house with green grass and now the ONLY house without weeds :)


Finally the day of rest: One more day to enjoy the suburban life. We don't have much on the agenda... Josh went golfing with the neighbor and here I am... starting The McCarty blog! 


ENJOY


Love, 
Allie, Josh and Cooper
