Pokemon

The little dude has gotten really into Pokemon recently. It's super confusing, but he loves it. The one cool part is that he's started making his own Pokemon cards and games. We played one tonight!

I'm not entirely sure what the rules are, except that he seemed to win most of the time.

FOUR!!

She's four!! Can you believe it? She had a great birthday. We took donuts to school this morning and had her favorite dinner, cake, and presents this evening.

How did time go by so quickly!??

Kite!

Well, we went to the playground to fly a kite yesterday, and I think the weather may have set a record for least wind ever. The kids still had a great time!

Eric had a great time, too!

The reason we have a kite now is that the little one earned it as a prize at school for being a good friend. We, of course, are very proud, and she, of course, wanted to fly it immediately. 

Semi-Monthly Update

Hi again! We have paint, trim, light fixtures, and doorknobs!! It's all very exciting.

We forgot to get a light fixture for the family room, so the electrician put up this 'temporary' one to pass inspection. How many years do you think it'll be before we replace it?

We're heading to a park this afternoon to fly a kite, so I'll have kid pictures to post again at some point.

Updates!

The little guy turned 7 last week-- we're still not sure how that happened.

And, we have sinks and toilets and some paint upstairs! We should have glass around our shower by the end of the week. It's all very exciting.

The one design thing that I really kind of insisted on (and I felt like a total diva) was having two pedestal sinks in the master bathroom. Isn't it amazing?? I'm in love.

Everything Is Blue

Ever since they started painting the house, I've had the song Blue stuck in my head. Anyway, look!

Also, we have doors!

Next step: door installation.

Busy, busy

Hello! We have been really busy with church, baseball, and work. Plus, I was out of town this weekend for a conference. Anyway, here are some progress pictures of the house! We're kind of entering the home stretch...

Our giant dirt pile is gone! We'll have to do something with all this dirt-- grass? I don't know. Also, the addition is primed and the whole thing should be painted tomorrow.

 You can see our french doors leaning against the front porch, too.

 The progress is amazing! They should be done in six weeks or so. The thing we're most looking forward to, though, is having a door back on the bathroom.

The sheet gives limited privacy, but it'll be nice to have a solid door.
