Home Invasion or Plague of Ladybugs Has Arrived
I love ladybugs (or as Scott refers to them, manbugs). However, this is ridiculous! There are millions of them on every window, inside and out. This was the best shot I could get, but trust me, they are everywhere. On the bright side, we had NO mosquitoes this year so this is a wonderful alternative!…

Moving in Day Has Arrived
Moving In Moving day has come and gone without much fanfare, just how we wanted it to be.
