Nursery News...

 I know I've been saying for a while that I would post an update on the nursery, so here it is finally! Once it is completed I will post an official nursery tour, a la Ohdeedoh, but for now, here's a little story of our progress...

Before: carpet, no paint, nothin special
We started work on it - when we ripped up the carpet, excited for hardwood, we found some pretty bad damage :(
Not gonna cut it...what to do??
So we enlisted help from our fabulous friends to put in laminate floors from Costco! Thanks Luke, Brian and Tyler!


All the boys worked really hard that day putting in the floor and wainscot...
Well, most of the boys...

Voila! Now Benjamin has the nicest room in the house by far!

There's still a lot of work to be done, but at least the construction stuff is finished. Now the fun part - decorating!

Yabba Dabba Doo...

Ok, obviously I am still learning to get into the swing of things when it comes to having a blog, oops! I will hopefully get better about posting more frequently...

A few weeks ago Dan and I went to Bass lake with a big group of friends, however, I did not take a single photo! So, I have nothing to post for you, except to say it was a really fun time, and possibly the last get away we will get before the duckling arrives, so it was much needed. Dan and his friends have been going there since high school. Now they are married and beginning to start families, it's so neat to think about continuing the vacation tradition with them for the next ten years and beyond!
 We have also continued to do work on the house and the nursery, and I will post some pics tomorrow about that, but before we head off to our birthing class this evening, I will leave you with a visual of my poor pregnancy affliction known as edema, not so fun, but trying to see the humor in it...
