This last week has been full of paperwork - it seems like a never ending cycle. I keep thinking that we are close but not quite there. Our building permit is ready, our excavator is lined up and ready to dig, we are just waiting on the title work for the house to be completed. Hopefully soon! Other than that we are just keeping busy with the girls, work, and all the other things that seem to keep us going!

A Successful Week

We were able to get the countertops and mirrors in the vanity area and bathroom in the basement. I love how they turned out. This is the vanity area (where the kitchen used to be). I figured with three someday teenage daughters and one bathroom would not work so hopefully this will help out in the future!

This is Ashlyn's room, mostly finished. I finished the flower quilt and she loves it and the windows turned out fun above her bed!The part of the remodel that I was really sad about was having to cut down this tree. This is a walnut tree that Ryan's grandpa planted from a seed in the backyard. It is huge and totally shades the swingsets and our backyard. Unfortunately the house and the tree would not fit together so the tree has to go. Ryan and his brothers started cutting it down on Saturday afternoon, this is about as far as they got because a branch was tangled in our comcast wire and took out our phone, internet, and cable as it fell to the ground. Needless to say it was a quite weekend with no phone or tv. (I loved it!) Morgan went and layed on her bed and cried when they were working on the tree, she has just discovered climbing this tree and was very upset that her dad was cutting it down.

Our building permit is done and we are just waiting on some title work with in the next couple of weeks we should be able to dig our hole!
