The Maiden Voyage

Nadja and I ventured off today for my first trip to Ikea. We both had our catalogs, our lists and were ready to tackle the big, bad world of Ikea.


We enjoyed lunch after touring the showroom, hit the showroom again and then loaded up our shopping carts.

We had a great time and as Nadja said - this was likely the most successful shopping trip we have taken together! We wrapped up the day with a trip through the Swedish Market for some traditional Swedish food - caviar in a tube - among other things. 

Marshall and the boys enjoyed the last day at the pool and a trip to the library for  T-man's reading buddies (thanks Marshall!). I was almost giddy showing Marshall all the stuff I purchased. It felt good to buy some things for our "new house" and freshen things up a bit. Here are a couple pics of some of the new items. 

New rugs for D-man. 



New lamps for the living room 

A fun little lamp for the entry way.
