memorial weekend

We spent the whole weekend up at the new house getting things accomplished.  From flowers and closet organizers, to gutting the kitchen and drywall repairs, it was a busy weekend!!  We even managed to sqeeze in a parade and a trip to the Plainwell Library for their book sale!

Baby O.'s new closet organizer.  She got the smallest room,

but the biggest closet....figure that one out?!

Lydia's new bed and the new wall decals are her border!

Our small attempt at curb appeal for this summer! lol

Joel gutted the kitchen while I installed the closet organizers. 

Opening at right enters into dining room.

Kind of dark, sorry!  But this is the dining room looking into the kitchen. 

The 1st mud and sanding has been done here and in the living room,

 and the 2nd coat of mud has been applied.

We are hoping Joel can be done with the drywall repairs within the next 2 weeks so we can begin priming and painting! Yay! Although I have no idea what colors I want yet!  Then we can put down our floors, install the doors, trim it all out, and we are half way done!!!!!  Still hoping to move in before baby shows her pretty little face....but we'll see! :)  Prayers needed! Thanks!





Yikes...look at those white legs! haha Anyway,we had a wonderfully hot time at the parade and Lydia did amazingly well. Better than we expected to be honest!  She sat patiently and waited forall the different floats and tractors and people.  She enjoyed going after candy, but wasnt crazy about it like the other kids (although in a year or 2 I'm sure that will change!).  She waved her little American Flag to the people, and was a trooper!  What a great Memorial Day, and we hope all of you enjoyed yours too!
