No new pics....

We have been having technical difficulties with cameras lately. We have finished tiling the kitchen floor and it is ready to be sealed. I have started unpacking upstairs and we are almost ready to move in! Hopefully any day now.....

Finishing floors and New Baby Matthew

I have started putting the finishing touches on the bedrooms. I've put up the molding in our bedroom and the downstairs bedroom with the brad gun. It's a lot more fun than painting.



We started working on the tile floor, which will go in the kitchen, bathroom and downstairs hallway. Grandpa and Dad came over to help out with that and to make sure the tiles are level. I placed the whole tiles on Saturday and we are waiting for them to dry to cut the rest of the tile and put those in.

We also went to see Matt's family in Truxton this weekend. Jeanetta & Kevin came home from Tennessee to show off their new baby boy, Matthew Scott. He's really cute.

Matt & Matthew. They are both smiling in this picture!

Susan and Matthew. I'm sure shes going to be a great mom too!

I didn't get any pictures of the parents holding the baby, but you can look at their blog at http://tnhillbillies.blogspot.com/

This week we will hopefully finish the tile in the kitchen and finish up all the painting. I'll finish putting up all the trim and unpacking boxes!

Cabinets are installed and Fall fun

This week I finished up most of the painting, still need to do some touching up here and there. The whole upstairs is done, except some minor finishing touches in the bathroom. The downstairs is almost finished, the floors need a little work. The big thing this weekend was the installation of the kitchen cabinets. There's a whole bunch of pictures from that. I'm not really sure why it looks like its snowing in some of the pictures, it was actually a really nice weekend.

I went to Becker Farms to go apple picking with my family. I wanted to do something "fall-like" and this weekend was supposed to be the prime weekend for fall foliage. I picked enough apples to make applesauce and the little girls loved the farm.Jillian, Alyssa and Alexis

This week I will finish painting the trim and put up the 1/4 round and get the upstairs all clean and ready to start unpacking up there. We are still deciding on a countertop color and tile color for the kitchen. We have to do a little more floor finishing in the living room and dining room. Move in date should be just around the corner......

Its all starting to come together.

The kitchen has been the major project for the week. The ceiling needed to be fixed and alot of patching up needed to be done around where the beam was put in and in other spots just to make the walls flat and ready to paint. The walls have been primed and we are ready to start painting! The cabinets came in last Thursday and are sitting in our garage waiting to be installed.

All the rooms have been painted, except the kitchen. I still have to paint the trim and do some touching up. We should be able to start installing cabinets in the kitchen later this week.
