Done in Less than 2 months!

Here are some pictures of our house. They just have some clean-up to do and the landscaping to do. I honestly can't believe how fast everything got done. They did an excellent job too. We have been very happy with everything. Anyone up for helping us move??

Re-decorating and giving away the first born...

We just turned in all the documentation for our house loan. I swear it feels as though we are signing away our lives and our first born! It is always so scary!! We go on our walk thru on Tuesday afternoon and we close on the 12th. They were asking us if we wanted to close sooner! What? 2 months isn't fast enough?!?! We declined the offer by reasons of mental health!

I am trying my best to pack up our house while still living in it. I took all of our decor off the walls and got them prepped to paint. There was one wall that still had nails in it, and I came in to find Remy "re-decorating" with a new trendy decor. I had him show off his decorations for a picture. He was very proud!

Tate got a hold of the camera and was trying his hand at photography. He took a great "Blair Witch Project" shot of himself, and a nice shot of my backside...I won't post that one, I'll save you the pain!!

Tate expands his vocabulary!

We have been having so much fun trying to decipher what our little Tate is trying to tell us, but he has added a new word to his budding vocabulary....."That!"
He really is a good communicator, we really do know what he is saying most of the time, but he is very persistent now, saying "that, that" until we get it right. And if he needs something he just waits until Remy asks for it and then he perks right up and signs "more" so we realize he wants in on the action too!

...And we're back

Hello! I don't know if you have given up on us, but we are back! We got hit hard with a nasty parasite that is lurking in the local pools, mom was down for 2 weeks! Now you know what happens when mom is not functioning...I feel as though we need a disaster clean-up service to come and save me!
We hear that we will be closing on our house on September 12th and things are looking fabulous. This is the exciting part. We are happy because all of the little sample squares of tile and counter tops and cabinets and carpet actually look good together in real life! Whew!
We will be back to regular, fun, postings soon!

Holy Cow!

Well, we checked in with our builder on the time line for our house and because it is summer time they will be done two weeks ahead of schedule! We should be able to close around Sept. 13th. Here are some pictures of the recent additions. My cousin Sara is visiting with us for the week from California. She and Remy graciously tried out the shower for us...

We are very excited to be in before the holidays.

We have some fun activities planned this week with Sara. We will be checking back in with some picutes of our mini vacation at home week!
