A Recap of "Mo-vember"

Over here November is the month that is designated for prostate cancer and men's depression awareness. so they call it "Mo-vember" and men grow out their mo's for charity. Of course, Alan just couldn't resist the urge to have some unusual facial hair! The first picture is how he had it all month. The second two are just for kicks when he was shaving it off.

I've been trying to "homey" up the house a little bit lately so that it doesn't seem so sterile. One of my recent projects was recovering the dining room chairs. I really love the fabric and am pretty pleased with how they turned out.




In other news, we got to celebrate Thanksgiving day twice this year... go figure! They were both very nice (not quite like home (really missed your squash casserole, mom!), but still good). And Alan and I went to the beach for the first time this season. We didn't get in the water, just went down and relaxed for a little bit. I am going camping up north in a little bogan town called Cervantes this weekend. We will be close to the Pinnacles so hopefully I'll have some good pics after that!

Hey! I love you chairs. Did you gel stain them? We love to gel stain furniture. It's so easy. The fabric is so cute! Alan's facial hair reminds me that I have a hilarious story to tell you but not on here! Do you have a christmas tree up? You could decorate it with painted and glittery sea shells. Hey, I emailed you my address. Did you get it? Is you address the same? I'm going to put a xmas card in the mail to you. Becca, Lauren L, Georgia and tons of others who weren't on pleo are on facebook. Take care and lots of love, HB

Hey Jeans! I do LOVE LOVE LOVE being a mom. Abbey is such a sweet and good baby. She is already sleeping thru the night which is awesome. Yes, both of my parents are thrilled to have more grandbabies. Mom retires the end of this year too. I have been enjoying staying home with Abbey, although I am going a little stir crazy being at home so much. We just made the decision that I'm not going back to work. I wanted to go back part time, but that didn't work out unfortunatly. I'm going to look into some PRN work just to keep my skills up. :) It was so good to hear from you! Becca
