I will start with finished projects first. Here are the curtains my mom made for us in the living room. I feel so lucky to have custom made curtains all throughout my house now!! They all look beautiful, thanks Mom!
Here is a picture of the new porch column my Dad and I installed. It also shows the new siding, I think it looks great! Now we just need to actually install the new shutters sitting in the garage...
And the curtains in the kitchen! Also, notice this is an "after" shot of the kitchen once post-flood work was completed...
The new bike helmet MaGa & Papa got for AJ. He is a good little rider, but he has to hold the helmet up off his eyes to see!
Mom & I when we had my cousin Jason and Melissa over for dinner...
John (or "knock" as AJ calls him) joined us as well....

Working on the column you already saw the "after" picture for...
Post-flood: Living with giant fans was no picnic with a toddler with tiny curious little fingers....
When they sprayed the anti-fungal chemical, the smell was so bad we had to stay outside... it was kinda fun camping out in the front yard though....
Bless my parents for not running for the hills after the flood. They stayed and helped out through the worst of it. Here we are with no walls...

Pre-flood: Papa reading AJ a story...
Eating Cheerios with Papa...
MaGa takes me outside all day and swings me to my heart's content. She lets me constantly change swings, Mommy doesn't let me do that.... I think I'm a little spoiled.
Building towers with MaGa...
AJ loves hanging out in MaGa & Papa's room...
Brunch at our favorite restaurant... we had no idea what the night had in store for us (9 inches of rain and all hell breaking loose!)

Well, my parents' visit took a few unexpected turns. We had so much fun with them here, and they were a HUGE help with the flood. I don't think I could have made it through without them. I just hope they come again after everything I put them through! Love you guys. AJ misses you.
ok somehow i missed this post before but i totally agree about blogger -- it is NOT friendly whatsoever...i noticed awhile back that you have to put the photos in in backwards order for them to show up correctly...if you find another host site let me know!
ReplyDeleteoh and love the house..can't wait to see it this weekend, it looks great!
