Giving Thanks

THANKS!

We have so much to be thankful for this year and so many people to thank for all of their hard work. We were able to move into our new home on November 13th and have enjoyed every minute of finally living here. Although we still have a few unfinished projects and some decorating to do, we have found some 'normalcy' and have all been able to sleep peacefully.

Everyone, with the exception of Deacon (on occassion), have found it easy being here instead of at our home in town.... Deacon has graced 3rd Avenue to visit his old territory a couple of times - unfortunately that means we get calls to go pick him up or have him escorted home from the local law enforcement. We are hopeful that he will soon decide it's great here and only explore town when he is with us.

Here are some new pictures of our new home. Come visit for the full tour!



The sun room floor went in this morning. It looks beautiful!

And Thatcher! He seems to love his new digs.

Packing begins

The past few weeks we have really been able to see what our new house is going to look like. Paint, tile, flooring, pine walls, cabinets, countertops, landscaping, you name it - it has been very busy and full of excitement. That being said, we have also started packing our belongings - a little each day - in anticipation of a move in the next couple of weeks.

Here are some updated pictures of our progress.


The sun room walls are mostly in, top row of windows should be installed this week - weather permitting.


The floor, vanities, sinks, towel bars, and toilet have all been installed in the master bath.



This is Thatcher's bathroom (our main level bathroom). You can see the bathtub in the mirror.


The laminate floor was installed last weekend. Now's its covered with paper but it is beautiful!
The kitchen - WOW -
The countertops went in today and they are perfect. Lots of good meals and good times to come...
