New Renovation Project!

Our little family is on to our next adventure, we sold our house in San Luis Obispo and bought a duplex in Atascadero! Each side of the duplex is a two bedroom one bath unit, however, we are working with a contractor friend to expand one of the sides to a 4 bedroom 2.5 bath. Once finished we will live in the expanded side, and rent out the other. It's all very exciting, but as we know from previous experience, this is going to be a very long process to reach the finish line.  

The rental side is currently being worked on and should be finished by 4th of July. Yippee! Here are some pictures of the progress.


This is the front of the house, it's on a half acre. We will live on the left side, the rental is on the right. The front door for the rental will be moved to the side of the house so it less like a duplex.


This is the main room. The foundation for the entire house was completely shot, so the insides were gutted, fixed, and now everything is being put back together.


Soon this will be a super cute little kitchen for our renters 😊 You have to focus on the big picture with these things when your project starts off like this...


The hallway to the left of the kitchen is where the new front entrance will be. The closet there will house the laundry. In the back of the house are two small bedrooms flanking a bathroom. The whole unit is small, but it would work well for a young couple.

Our contractor hasn't even touched our side yet, the plans are being reviewed by the city. Hopefully they will be approved soon!


Father's Day

Eric is a great dad to Georgia! We spent the weekend celebrating him by going to the beach, playing at the park and then enjoying some burgers and fries downtown. Happy Father's Day Eric!













Run baby run!

Georgia goes as fast as her little legs will take her and doesn't stop ALL day!


Avila Valley Barn

We took a trip to Avila Valley Barn last weekend and Georgia had a fantastic time making friends with a the barn animals there. 

Here she is feeding the goats


It's actually a fun place for kids, you can visit the animals and then go pick whatever fruit is in season around the farm. They also have an ice cream saloon, which is always a hit with Georgia!

13 Months

Georgia is growing growing growing. She truly is a busy body these days, always in motion! We took a few moments the other day to capture some sweet photos of her. 


Over the last few weeks we discovered that Georgia is gaga over blueberries, especially if she gets to pick them herself!


Mouthful of blueberries


Here she is sporting a dress I wore as a baby, so adorable!
