Sheet Rock and a Fun Work Day

Here's the "finished" product - I'm standing in our dining room looking at our eating bar and back into our kitchen. It's so exciting to have all the walls up. Over the next week or two, we'll be having them mudded, taped, and textured. Then we'll paint, try to get the floors in and try to get moved in. We'll see whether we beat Ascha to our respective "finish lines." We've got 30 days from today until her due date. :-)



Grandma and Grandpa came out to visit and help us for a while. We are so thankful for all the help and we (gotta love that collective "WE" - I didn't do a whole lot, but everyone else worked hard) took advantage of a beautiful day yesterday to do quite a bit of outside work. The lawn got mowed, trees got trimmed, beds got weeded, and rocks got removed from the lawn. (The boys have decided they don't like picking rocks, but they did manage to get the job done. :-) Here's a picture of the boys with "Whiff," the grandparents' dog. They love her dearly and enjoyed playing with her and following her around throughout the day.




Here they are helping Grandpa tune up the lawnmower.




And here's Aric helping Grandma weed one of the front beds.
