House Stuff

Here are a few more pictures of the work going on at the house. When we started to have the cedar beams painted on the outside of the house we discovered that they were rotting at the bottom. They are structural beams so we had to fix it. We decided to cut out the rotten part, support it with steal, and then brick around the base of the beams. These pictures are phase one of that... we should have brick at least started later this week. We also should be getting our new front door this week.


You can also see the dining room chairs we had recovered. I was a little worried about this fabric when they showed me the swatch, but I really like it now. Once we get the drapes and accessories I think it will look great.

Here are some pictures from our remodel. This one is a picture of our new tile in the dining room. I really like the way it looks now, I just can't wait to have the rest of it done.

My First Blog

Well, my friend Becca just started a blog and it looked like it might be a good way for me to keep people updated about our family. I am not usually very good about keeping things like this updated, but I promise to try. Drew just turned 2 in May and is talking up a storm, rarely slows down, and loves all of the Pixar movies. The first thing he says in the morning is "Buzz" (Lightyear), then usually "Cars". We are getting ready to take him to Disney World in October, I can't wait to see his face when he sees a life size Buzz. This will be my first trip to Disney too, so I am sure I will be just as excited as he is.

As for what is going on with Andy and me, we are in the middle of redecorating the house. Over the last 2 weeks we have had all kinds of people here working. Right now there is a break in the action, and we are so happy to have our house back. The whole project should be done in September.

That is all I have for now, I will try to figure out how to post pictures soon. Right now Drew just woke up from his nap, so break time is over.
