Despite the fact that we haven't blogged in awhile we have been taking pictures with the intention of blogging. Unfortunately our home PC is on the fritz and we couldn't find the SD card reader so I could upload pics onto my laptop. Then we bought a new SD card reader that doesn't work...anyway, it's been a saga but we were trying I promise! So...finally...here are some pics from the last 6 weeks or so. Some cute ones of the kids playing in the cabinets at our condo.
Easter morning, Reese and Asher loved getting their baskets. They had more fun later that day with their cousins, though.
It turned out to be beautiful weather for Easter so we did the egg hunt outside, which was a lot of fun. This is the pic of the older kids waiting for their turn to "be released" while the younger ones run around in the yard looking for eggs. Look familiar, Lageman/Joynts?
Asher had fun filling up his bag with eggs
Reese found about 3 eggs and then just wanted to swing. This is her sitting on the swing, looking at an egg that CK brought over to her that had her name on it.
The men, of course, had to show the kids how a pogo stick really works.
Despite the plague we brought back from our East Coast trip, CK has managed to get himself well enough to get a lot done on the house. These pictures are from a few weeks ago but he has been busy staining the posts/beams and building the railing for the upstairs loft.
Our doors arrived and we love them. They are knotty alder stained in a walnut stain. CK has installed most of them and i helped put in the door handles on Friday evening so I'll try to get some updated pictures this weekend.
This is the view of the loft railing from the upstairs. Much safer already :)
Something I wasn't able to get a picture of because we were too busy trying to fix it was our first "kid threat" to the beautiful new house. CK and I have been joking around that we are buying these great new wood floors, beautiful tile, cabinets, etc. and then reminding ourselves that with 2 toddlers, the house will be "ruined" in a matter of months. Ok, so probably not ruined, but you know what we mean. We brought Val up to see the new doors yesterday and left Reese alone for a few minutes (yes, that's all it takes) and when I turned back around she had managed to find a red permanent marker and was drawing on the new playroom door that CK just installed this week. Seriously. After a few expletives by me and CK's quick thinking with paint thinner, the door is as good as new but man...we thought the fun wouldn't start until we actually
moved in. Ha!
This week, CK is starting to tile the entry/kitchen/mudroom (dark grey tile) and then probably the bathrooms (same grey tile in one and travertine in the master). Our appliances should arrive this week and the cabinets are due in mid- to late May so we're getting closer.
