new house on the block

What a difference a little curb appeal makes!  We have been talking about putting shutters up ever since we moved in last November and we finally have this past week.  We attempted to put the shutters up a few weeks ago, but without a hammer drill, it was really a sorry sight.  Since our entire house is brick, it was practically impossible to get the shutters up with a regular drill.  Luckily, we were able to borrow a hammer drill from Jon and we got the shutters up over the course of 3 afternoons.  Brandon did most of the work and I was in charge of making sure everything was straight and lined up.  What a difference!  I loooove it!!!

While we worked, Grey was happy to hang outside with us on a blanket and play with toys....er, fall asleep.
