Bel Air Adjacent

Here's the good news about our new place - it doesn't seem like we live in Los Angeles at all. We are on a hillside and there are trees everywhere. A few weeks ago, we found a baby deer in our backyard. It was the cutest thing and the kids absolutely loved seeing it up close. Of course I worried all night because we are in the wilderness and where there are deer - there are also coyotes! 

Now for the bad news. Our house is old. And with anything old - there are a multitude of problems that come along with it. Every time we take a step forward, it seems like we take 2 steps back. It's been trying, frustrating, stressful, and overwhelming. We ended up having to ask our contractor to not come back since there were weeks of delays, no shows, and things not getting done properly. Now we are trying to finish things on our own and that is proving difficult too!

Let's just say it's been a pretty rough month for the Cahn family. I promise to post pictures but it still isn't quite finished……..

* the above fence was falling apart and seemed hazardous for the kids - so we are in the process of redoing the back area.
