* Damon's new Job And all of the craziness that happens during the summer. We love our house and their is lots to be done and lots of fun ideas on how to decorate, but we are enjoying the space!!

Almost finished!!

Well, finally a moment to sit down. We are close to being finished with the house first of all. What a relief it will be to have all done. I wanted to share a few pictures of the things that are almost finished and will need the finishing touches. Counter tops will be here some day this week and carpet next Tuesday. AHHH so much to do so little time. Its coming along though.

Some of the tile work that Damon did, and I got to finish it off with the grout. I have never grouted before so I was a little nervous. The wood we used for the cabinets is called knotty maple and mixed with a little white chocolate. The fire place will sit on the hearth.

It is amazing to see what a little trim and window seals can do. It gives your house a huge face lift.

Then finally a picture with the rock work on the outside.

Hopefully a couple more weeks and we can close and then move in. It has been a process. If you consider building consider buying first. It is just way to stressful-- But I guess worth it. I have to see how it feels when we move in. :)

Carter turned 5 on the 17th and he was way excited to be this old. He said "I am 5 now and then I will be 6 that will be neat." Already looking forward to next year. He is such a character and he always keeps us on our toes. He is full of energy and loves to look after his little sister. He talks baby talk to her and some how they can communicate with each other better than I can communicate with Cavry. He has a lot of love to give and is a good boy (except when he is in need a nap) and we wouldn't have him any other way. We love you Carter!!

A much needed update and a Winter Blowout!!

Well lets see, where to begin. First of all we have had so much going on and my time is consumed by the house. Hopefully we will be done with this project in the next month or two.

We have all of the rock work done on the outside and the inside is painted and the tiling is almost finished. Then trim and carpet and of course hooking all of the appliances up to make the home work. We are really excited and can't wait to finally live in it. I didn't get the chance to take a picture of the house finished on the outside yet because of this and a little of procrastination. We got hit hard with all of this snow 3-5 feet crazy huh!! Our Mayor of Tropic called our little town a state of emergency. Which means that people don't have to go to work but could really use the help to clear the snow. School was canceled and we aren't going anywhere for a while. Grateful for the moisture!! Christmas was great and the kids got everything they asked for from Santa!! I was surprised from Damon and got a Cricut Expression. I can't wait to have room to just leave the machine out and scrapbook when ever I want. My whole family was here and we always have such a wonderful time together.
