The new addition

I have a lot of updating to do, since the last post we've moved out of our horrible slum apartment in the Madison Punk neighborhood, and moved everything into our new house. We started unpacking, and as of this posting, the house is pretty functional...especially if you don't look in the garage and notice all of the unpacked boxes stacked out there. I'm especially happy to report that the kitchen was unpacked, set up, and produce a full curry dinner by the third night after moving in. However, a week after we moved in, we drove across the state to Spokane, spent a romantic night at the Fairfield Inn (including dinner at the Old Spaghetti Factory), and came back with a new addition to the family...

Introducing ARDBEG!

Here he is, all 3.3 pounds of wiener adorableness.

 Just to make this post house-related, note the cork flooring in the kitchen and den! It was installed by the previous owners, it's no original, but it's still consistent with the mid-century period. I love it, it's warm and sort of soft. Perfect for standing on for hours while simmering a curry, or sitting on while you're playing with a puppy.

Ted isn't quite sure what to think of him yet, but he seems pretty enamored with him.
