a few low key weeks

We have been laying low around the house the past few weeks - it has been really nice to catch up and relax a bit after a busy start to the summer. Ashley has had to get work done on the weekends, and I've been working on tying up the loose ends of my thesis at long last. We've had lots of bbqs with friends and small yard wrap up projects. Here are a few random photos from my phone of small things going on here.....

Ashley installed some landscape lighting in the yard - one of the last finishing touches!

Fluffy dog and beer on our little patio after work at night

I had to post this photo even though I emailed it as well: we went to a housewarming bbq at some friend's house and they had the same wallpaper as what was in our house on Cobblestone! Flashback.

When Jeff was in town we opened one of the old bottles of wine from Fritz and Susanne. It always makes whatever we're doing a special occasion : )
