Happy Mother’s Day

It’s been a crazy week and a half!  First and foremost, my sister is now a mother!  2 months earlier than expected but she and my nephew are both doing well so Happy First Mother’s Day to my sister!

Last weekend while my sister was in the hospital my family all went down to their house to help out by finishing the nursery and of course offering support in any way we could.  The nursery really came out great and by the time my dad headed home we had even put in the new rug and moved in the furniture.

This weekend Ryan and I found ourselves unexpectedly home so we spent some time working on the house (what else).

Saturday we got chores done and then made the face frame for the cabinet that goes in the gym and got that attached, as well as some feet.

Feet for the cabinet

Ryan also finished the base for the TV room built-ins.  Which made it easy to jump into continuing work on the built-ins today.  While I sanded the gym cabinet, Ryan got the pieces for the boxes to the built-ins all cut and ready to go.  Then we put the boxes together.  We can finally get an idea for how they will look!

Next on that project list is to make the face frames.

One other little project we did today was give Fitz a bath (well a hose shower).
