Foyer Light

When we moved into this home the first thing I wanted to update was our foyer light. Four years later we finally did it! Out with that huge contractor chandelier!!!

After an exhaustive light search, I finally found one I liked at West Elm (eclipse chandelier). We had an electrician come to work on some wiring for our basement bathroom, and while he was here we had him tag on this additional project.

I love how simple and understated this light is. The blown glass is perfect for hiding dust. amazing how a simple update can make such a huge difference. 

Thanks Joellyn for validating the light choice!


Apples!

I'm so excited! Our Honeycrisp apple tree produced a few apples for us this year. These apples are so delicious.

Today I picked, cored and dried a few of the apples. Tomorrow I hope to try applesauce and perhaps a pie?! Hmmm.

I've never dried apples before. I hope they turn out. They sure look pretty.



Back to school!


   
School has officially begun. Andrew starts 8th grade and Ben starts 6th grade. Both will be in middle school. Crazy how big they have gotten but we are so excited and proud of them.

Such handsome little men.

Nic will start preschool early September.
