The Colors of Summer

North Coast ...... Chipmunk

Adam and I were on a roll tonight. We decided to get the ceiling painted and once that was done, we decided to just start on the walls too! I was only going to do my work room, but once we realized how much fun it was to see color on the walls, there was no stopping us.


Tomorrow we are going to buy trim and finish the painting (hopefully). One more step closer to being finished!

Memorial Day Fun

A great way to start the day...Dancing!

And walking!

Water time with Grandpa Doug

Our little singer

Nap Time

Snack Time

Primed walls

First of all, I really need to get more creative with my post titles.

Second, the basement walls are all primed!

Next step - paint the ceiling and the walls!

Here's Natalie enjoying her very first swim of 2009

A Few Updates

1.  The basement is all primed and ready to be painted!  I'll post pictures later.

2.  The tree people that damaged our driveway deducted our bill to pay for it.

3.  The tree people that also broke our neighbor's fence may or may not be fixing it.

4.  Natalie continues to get more cute every day!

This is what Adam looked like after only half a day of sanding the walls in the basement.  

Sorry, Adam.  I had to post this.  You're the one who took the picture!  

Natalie's new Hula Hoop dance moves

Adam says she looks like an old farmer man!

She's been working on climbing stairs at daycare

(Ours aren't quite ready for her to climb yet.  They're still just dirty wood - no carpet)

The After Effects of Cutting Down Trees

The driveway gets gouged from the dumpster - will they pay or not, do you think?

After...oops!

Natalie's first ponytail (looks like she was there for the signing of the Declaration!)

We have an egress window now!

Before After

Natalie has been enjoying the nice weather this past week. We've spent a lot of time playing outside.
A relaxing bonfire after a long day's work.

Hey, I CAN see the (dim) light at the end of the tunnel!

I don't have pictures to post right now (I'm on a break at work), but I was just too excited to wait until I got home to make a post.  We are making some huge progress today!

1.  Adam and Mark are putting in the egress window today.  

2.  Once the window's in, they can put the last piece of sheetrock in and finish the mudding.

3.  Once the mudding's finished we can sand.

4.  Once the sanding's finished, we can PAINT!  This is the step that I have been anticipating for months!

Hopefully by the time I get home tonight, I will be able to take some pictures and then everyone can share in my excitement. :)

You know what I just thought?  Once the basement's done, we will be done with remodeling.

But then I had another thought...

What about the KITCHEN?????
