Slowly but surely....

Our house is becoming more of a "home".  There are still no pictures on the walls- except in Harper's room- but we finally have blinds and our guest room has a mattress (a real mattress, not one that is filled with air or a futon- a bit of information that should be appreciated by our future guests!), our bedroom has assembled furniture- (why oh why did we decide to go with the 'unassembled' furniture option, funny we just ended up paying a friend to put it together because Andy had no time for that project and we won't discuss my daily to-do list but I can assure you that it has no room for assembling furniture) and at least one bathroom offers a place to hang a towel.  Since Mom and Dad Pillari are coming in for a visit this week- which we are so looking forward to, especially Harper, who carries around a Pillari family photo from Tony's ordination chanting, "Papa, Papa"- we are hoping that the guest room can come into working order. 

More pictures of the house coming, eventually....

By the way, Oscar didn't shrink and grow a fluffy white coat, that is our friend's dog, Rigby, who was staying with us for the weekend.
