Back at the Homestead

After a long long drive to Texas, we've finally re-established ourselves at the Bice homestead in Spring. The girls who were so excited to be back in Texas promptly began asking us when we were going to be going back to St Louis. I guess the grass really is always greener.

While the girls rediscovered the joys of having your own backyard (it's like your own private park), Erin and I rediscovered the joys of home ownership; namely cleaning, repairing and yardwork. After a week of effort and about 20 bags of pinestraw, the place is starting to take shape. I installed a new garbage disposal, rearranged the living room to Erin's specifications, and bought Olivia her "big-girl-bed". The girls, as can be seen below, assisted in beautifying the front of the house.
