Our newest little one Evalina Gabriella joined us last week. She made it longer term than her sisters – to 38 1/2 weeks and came a day after Alex’s birthday! We had to spend an extra day at the hospital due to her jaundice – also like her older sister but she’s doing great and …
This past weekend (we were home on Monday only) marked some progress on the linen closet! Friday my neighbor Pete was over working so he sanded, primed and painted the closet (then did some other projects like empty out the master bathroom area). Monday we went to home depot and got the closet system, then …
My little boo is 2! She gets an even bigger birthday gift but we aren’t setting it up until Friday night (it’s an 8′ trampoline we are going to put in the cupola!). So for now she gets the bike and some puzzles 🙂 Luckily the front room is empty right now so it’s perfect …
This weekend Alex and I went down to Aimee’s house to work on their new nursery (for baby #2!). Alex wasn’t much help but luckily Grandma was there to entertain the kids so I could help on the nursery. Jason got the wallpaper off, I scraped around the trim and then skim coated 2 walls. …

The guys worked on the bathroom, Jason getting the rough-in plumbing finished up and Ryan getting the cement board up and both of them installing the …
Finally the rebuilding has begun. This past weekend (Saturday at least), Ryan made a couple trips to the dump to get rid of all the demo debri from the ceiling demo. We got the upstairs cleaned up more, things moved around, the saw brought up and vacuuming vacuuming vacuuming. There is still more cleanup to …
Sorry for the lack of posting, we were up till about midnight every night Wed, Thur, Fri with working on the kitchen and birthday party prep. I’ll try to recap how the rest of the week went. Wednesday I finished filling nail holes and caulking the installed trim. Then I stripped the last 4 rosettes. …
