Holiday Highlights 2011

What a great end to a very busy year!  We can't wait to see what 2012 will bring us.  Wishing everyone a happy and healthy new year.

New House

Our new home...We are getting closer to having it move-in ready. 

We really, really hope we can get in before the holidays.  

Giving Thanks

We have a lot to be thankful for these days.  We just purchased a new home, which we hope to get moved into by Christmas.  It has a lot of work to be done, but we are so excited to have more space for our "growing" family.  For those of you who may not have heard, we are expecting Baby #2 May 29th! Quinn is so thrilled to be a sister.  I have been feeling horribly sick and have been on Zofran to help the nausea.  I am hoping that I will be feeling better and less tired soon, so I can be a better help at the new house.  Andy has been putting in some long hours there. He's definitely winning the husband of the year award.  Now we just need to figure out how to operate the snowblower we just borrowed from my parents. Coming from a townhome with no exterior work is a huge adjustment! 

We've also had my uncle over inspecting electrical work and he knocked out a half wall for us.  Andy's parents spent almost a week scrubbing down the place and pulling out carpet staples.  The previous owners were smokers so we have also had to use special primer on the walls to kill the smell.  I had my mom and brother and his girlfriend over cleaning and painting. Cousins and friends have been helping too.We are lucky to have such great family and friends.  We will post some pictures soon!
