Welcome to our new blog!!!! We are really excited for another way to be communicating with you! Doug was great and let me have fun decorating our blog (obvious from the pink girly design-ha!)
So....what a week!
For those of you who are not aware, Doug had emergency surgery on Saturday for appendicitis. We were out for a Valentines Day celebration dinner at a French restaurant here in Madison when Doug started to feel ill. Soon after, we rushed Doug to the E.R. He is now on the mend and feeling better. Although, of course, Doug is antsy to get back to work and resume his normal pace of life. We really appreciate everyone's thoughts, prayers, emails, calls, visits etc. Thanks a bunch!!
We are also long overdue to posting some photos of our home to be. We are SO excited to move into our first home and make it our own. I have already been out shopping for decorative pieces and finally bought a stylish address stamp that I have been wanting for a while (It's the little pleasures in life, right?) There are so many great personalized stamps on this site....below is just one example. Here's the link, if you are interested in purchasing for yourself and an example of one of them below. :)
Anyway, Doug has been equally excited and has been researching and dreaming of a 52" flatscreen for 'his' basement, a ping table and other fun things . Needless to say, we are pretty pumped, and looking forward to sharing memories with all of our closest friends & family in our new place. So, here are just a few photos...Enjoy!
Sincerely,
~Doug & Kate
P.S. Special thanks to Dad & Mom Smith for their warm visit and gifts. And special thanks also to Julie & Dad Stern for their visit and for taking a day off work to work hard inspecting our new house yesterday and giving us a lot of peace of mind. Thank you--Thank you!!!

Oh my gosh!!! I love your new house. How exciting... Can't wait to come visit you both.
YEAH! We are so happy for you two. The house looks beautiful..we hope to come visit soon. We wish we were all still in South Loop though! Welcome to the blogger world!
your house is awesome....and so is your pink blog
For those that haven't seen the house in person yet, it is really beautiful. It has 4 bedrooms and a separate office. Also has a piano/music area off the kitchen. Low traffic street with a big park close by. Julie and I really like Madison (we considered moving there ourselves before Katie and Doug found their house). Who knows, we may still move there as I hear the new neighbors are pretty nice. :-)
Love, Dad Stern
Thanks, Dad. You are so funny, (in your own "Dad"way) :0) haha
Thank you so much again for helping us and telling that inspector who's boss :)
We can't wait to see your new home. Seems perfect for entertaining (when is the house warming party?) Let us know when the SNOW is FINALLY over and we'll plan a visit.
P.S. - Have you purchased any green and plaid log furniture for the LR? haha Love, Mom and John
Oh my gosh, that is the cutest baby I have ever seen!
Your house is so beautiful. Steve, Liam and I had a great time visiting with you last week-end. Naturally we ate too much, but it was really nice for you to make the cake and everything; it was delicious. You have such nice decorating taste too. We are looking forward to visiting alot more; hopefully you won't get sick of us!
The wedding colors are beautiful- the wedding looked like it was a alot of fun!!! Hope your traveling went ok!
