This past week or so we have been busy continuing progress on the home; one minor set back, picked floors, picked paint, and spent time visiting with friends and celebrating accomplishments.
Here are pictures from the past week. Enjoy!
Below: I spent about 2+ hours at the flooring store trying to decide which floors to pick. I was asked, "Are you ok?" about 100 times by every employee. I found three I really liked. All were very different and each had their pros and cons. Ultimately I picked one and can't wait to see it installed!
Below: Setback... :/ Below is a picture of our sump pump located under the stairs in the basement. It's our first sump pump, our first basement, our first flood.
Below: This was the room Chris and I were staying in (it will be the "craft" room) and about 5 minutes before this picture was taken it had a bed and a bunch of furniture in it.
Above: The water seeped through the wall and under the floors which then needed to be removed. It was so hard watching Chris tear up something he just worked on- but, he took care of it and after a night of sleeping on the couch he replaced them all again and moved us back in! Thanks Babe!
Below: I purchased the Annie Sloan chalk paint in French Linen and decided it would be a nice "help" to the basement bathroom. We aren't completely remodeling the bathrooms but just making them "prettier". Here are some before and after pictures. The whole room still needs paint, lighting and fixtures but I am excited with how the cabinet turned out. And it was SO EASY!
Below: The tree in our front yard has been changing color and it has been so fun to watch. Next fall I am going to try to remember to take pictures starting when it is green and each week after as it starts to change.
Below: The boys met pretty Olivia for the first time. They are in love!
Below: I got to visit this beautiful wedding venue with a friend that asked me to help with her wedding. The venue was BEAUTIFUL, the bride is BEAUTIFUL... I am so excited to be apart of this day!
Below: These pictures are from Mission Women's KNOW event. Don't forget to sign up for Bible Study!!! :)
Above: My friend Amy made these awesome brownies with the Mission logo.
Below: Saturday was busy with soccer games and dance recitals. So proud of these kids!
Below: Saturday also held a fun night celebrating my friend Wesley who graduated from nursing school. We are SO PROUD OF HER!!!
Above: The dumpster became party decor again... this time as a SHARPS container.
Below: Wesley's sister Katelyn made these adorable nurse-themed cupcakes and cookies.
Below: Proud Mommy Moment... Jackson performed in his Pre-K Christmas program. The smile did not leave his face or mine. SO SO SO Proud of him. He loved being up on stage.
Above: Some Jackson's biggest fans. I love that he is so loved!
Below: Today I had some fun practicing my newly learned camera knowledge.
Below: And finally, I got to go visit sweet Gavin Guard as he is recovering from surgery. How peaceful does he look?!?! So precious. Thank you God for such an amazing blessing!
I'm extremely excited for our next week as I think I will see the biggest transformations yet! I can't wait!
