Phase 1 of our house projects are almost complete. These are the rooms which are finished. And I use the term finished loosely. :) Soon you will see pictures of Jacob and Nathan's room (waiting for one piece in Jake's room and the electrical in Nathan's room), the dining room (waiting to hang fixture) and eventually we'll get to the office and basement. It is definitely feeling like home and we're settling in nicely. Those squeaky floors? We don't even notice them anymore.

Before and After - The Yard (Phase 1)

As I look at these pictures I am already missing summer. The leaves are pretty much gone...it's getting cold. And snow is just around the corner. Anyway, as you can see our yard is a blank canvas going into winter. I called this Phase 1. My dad and Scott spend an entire weekend cutting back, weeding, and basically getting everything cleared out. We had a brick path that we didn't even know existed. It looks so bare compared to the overgrown jungle we had before - but we are looking forward to landscaping in the spring!

Halloween 2011

I wonder if Nathan will ever have a complex with clowns?

Dinosaur and Dad helping Grandpa and Grandma make cake pops.

They were so cute - but DID NOT taste good.

Lions and dinos and clowns, oh my!

Cutest lion ever.


Nathan: "Hey guys...don't let Jake drop me okay?" Jacob: "I am going to smile for you but it is really hard to hold Nathan and keep my hood up. I had better get extra candy for this." Gwendolyn: Mm-mm. I wonder if Jacob would mind me chewing on one of his spikes. My teeth are killing me.
