Grandparents and House

We were so sad to see grandma and grandpa leave earlier this week. Grandpa tackled several house/vehicle projects for us and grandma was great with the boys, food, laundry, etc. They've already made it back safely to Kansas. Thank you so much for coming out to spend time with us and help us in so many ways!

I know I promised this post before Jacob was born but better late than never right?! He are a couple before and after pictures of our house. Although I need to post some more with our furniture and updates grandpa did.

Right after closing on the house - we are homeowners!!


Sorry for the poor quality. But the first things we did was steam clean the carpet and repaint the great room. We also decided to have all the wood trim painted white. Definitely modernizes the house.



Master bedroom. We bought a queen size bed - finally! And love it!

I don't have any new pictures of our bathroom but the wallpaper came off. I think its funny because the wall to the left of me has a huge mirror as well. When sitting on the toilet you have 8 different views of yourself!



A few after pictures. I wish I was organized enough to have the same views but this is better than nothing!





I am recovering well from my surgery last week. A huge thanks to so many friends for meals, watching Chase, helping me clean the house, etc. I am slowly starting to get into a routine with both boys. Jacob has gone up to 6 hours sleeping at night but is still inconsistent. He is getting so big! The pile of clothes he no longer fits in is getting bigger everyday!

We were sorry to leave too, but so thankful for the time the Lord gave us with you all! Wow, those 'before' pictures really do show up what all you've done! Definitely a modernization. Glad Jacob is getting a little longer snoozing at nite so you can as well! We're still anxious to hear about his weight and length! Is Chase still being a whiz at putting together puzzles??? We continue to pray for you all daily!

The house looks great! You guys did a lot of work and it came out wonderfully! It's good to see that you're doing well after your surgery. You poor thing, that had to be really hard after just having a baby! Take care and hopefully we can come up with a trip to see eachother!
