Yes, we're still working!

Okay, it's almost October, so time to get this project all wrapped up! We try to put in an hour or two every day, our biggest project lately is finishing the laundry room cabinets. We're still missing a few pieces, so it will be awhile until we get countertops and door handles installed.
Also this weekend we brought all our stuff out of storage. We should have plenty of space now, right?!

Shutters and paint, are we done yet?!

Seems for 2 months we've been waiting for small things like shutters, and mirrors, and painting the front door. Well, those are all finished now, so officially our builder is ALL DONE!

HOWEVER, we are NOT ALL done!!! We still have light fixtures to hang, laundry room cabinets (LOTS OF THE THEM) to install, door hardware to swith out, touch up paint inside and out, and front landscaping to finish.

We're going to put off our open house a bit longer, but for those who just can't wait, give us a call and come on by!

Eliana's Room

Hi! My name is Elie and I am the youngest of the family. When I first came here, I slept next to mom & dad's bed and I loved that. I could cry anytime and they would pick me up right away! But sometimes I would cry instead of sleeping, and mom & dad moved my little bed into their bathroom. But I could still hear them! So then I got moved to the walk in closet, and that was nice and quiet. I slept there very happily!

Now that the other kids are moved upstairs, I have a new pink bedroom, which Mommy repainted just for me. It seems very BIG to me. All my clothes and diapers and toys and furniture are in the room with me (though Mom forgets sometimes, and takes me back into her room when I have a dirty diaper!).

Anyway, with my new room came a big bed they call a crib. I think it's fun to bounce and jump around in! I have to keep lots of blankets in my bed, so I don't get lost in this big bed. Sometimes I like to play in by room, and even go in a shut the door! Mom & Dad still hear me at night, because I cry so loud the sounds bounces off the bare walls.

That's all I have to say about that,
Eliana Faith, 16 months

Taking some time off...

If you've been wondering what has been happening with the house in September, the answer is NOT MUCH!!! Once we decided to re-engage in life, we haven't found much time for house projects. Definately, October will be the end!
Here's some photos from our Labor Day weekend camping trip with the Bataluna family.
