French!

Another change! Paul, along with Regan, who is a very talented man from our Church (can do just about anything) took out the old back door, cut a bigger opening and put in a french door today. We really like the difference it makes - but now it puts more pressure on us to have a "nice" backyard - now you can actually see it.

Welcome Home.

Our first night in our new house and our first family photo in our "new" lil' living room. The buyers for our old house asked if we could close a week early, so Sunday and Monday we began packing the items we would live with for the next few months...everything else will be moved over this weekend. We have moved into a couple of the upstairs bedrooms and will continue to work on the downstairs and then move up. Four weeks without a kitchen...hopefully we don't look 50 pounds heavier by the time these kitchenless weeks are over. Scout is having a difficult time adjusting- the first night none of us slept because he just roamed the house all night with his nails "clip-clapping" on the floor. We were all miserable! Hopefully things will begin to improve soon!:->

The First Improvement

It is amazing how fast things change when you pay someone to do the work. In one afternoon we had a brand new garage door (thank you Home Depot)...the purple palace is better already! Paul told me not to get use to it - we are all about "sweat equity":->.
