Bummer news...

We heard from our project manager yesterday that our cabinets are not coming in until the 14th of August. We were supposed to be moving in by the 20th of August. But since they are late it pushes back the plumbing and the last of the electrical. We are now looking at the second week of September to move in. This may be okay as Ethan and Trinity will both be in school. I am really disappointed that after all of our hard work and Garrett's sleepless days we are still going to be a month behind. What can you do? Anyway, please keep praying and I will post new pictures soon!

Painted and floors are almost complete!!!

The girls room. It's purpleish, Trinity's new color!

Ethan's bedroom.

This is our kitchen and dining room! (Cabinets will be here 7/28)

We are looking at a closing date of Aug. 20th! I can't wait! Will keep everyone uppdated and will add more pictures over the next two weeks. the cabinets and the bathroom will be complete during that time. Love you all, thanks for the prayers!

It is in the 80's today!!!

I can't even believe it, it is finally warmer than 60! I was so sick of the cold weather. Summer is finally here!

Ethan is riding his bike without training wheels! This is a big summer for him, no training wheels, soccer, new tooth, and he can read! My baby is growing up!

Trinity is always the center of attention. She comes up with the funniest things sometimes. Her new thing is to call me Kayla.

Penelope is a very busy two year old! She is constantly going, trying to do all that her brother and sister can do.

House update..

We are finishing up the siding tomorrow so that the excavator can come back out and start on our septic. We will have a raised septic but we will have city water. A raised septic is what it sounds like, but then they cover it with dirt and we can plant and play on it. It will just look like a hill in our back yard. The excavator will also be clearing the rest of the lot for us. Beginning next week we will be priming and paiting our walls as well as putting up the finish trim! There is still a lot to be done but things are going so well. We are truly blessed! God is GOOD! Thank you for all your prayers and help before and during this process.

SOCCER

Ethan scored his first goal this week! He had a belly-ache before the game too and he conquered it. We are so proud of him for getting out there and trying new things. He can't for his next game now:)

Ethan's Kindergarten graduation!

My kindergartner is no longer, he is now in grade school! I can't believe how the time flies by. He was such a trooper during the ceremony even though he had a belly ache from being so nervous.

Can you believe it? It is June 6 and we are doing our siding! We are so pumped. Still a lot to do on the inside but coming along really well. WE are truly blessed. (We new that before this, but it helps!)

The roof is finished, as well as the plumbing and electrical being roughed in. We are looking forward to doing our back poorch and then dry walling into next week!

Anyone wondering about potty-training? Well, Penelope isn't ready yet. Not to mention we are building a house and then moving. Probably not good timing.

We are having fun with the house. We have heard from a few people, "If you can make through building, you can make it through anything." So far, and we have had to pick stuff out and decide how to place the house... things are great! We haven't had any problems. I hope we don't see what those people were getting at.

It could definately be warmer here!!!! It was only 47 yesterday and today. Burrrrrrr! Hopefully we will get a summer...Until next time.
