So what's new with us? Busyness is our name. Traveling is our game. We have been traveling 2/3 of the summer, and working the other. Could I expect less of us? Since Jason and I have been together (6 years) we have not had one summer where we weren't traveling our pants off. I'm not complaining though. We put it upon ourselves and enjoy our trips. Though this summer it has made it a bit tougher to work on the house. It's not quite as far as what we would like... BUT we have made headway (fingers crossed that it turns out well) with the living room floor! We found out when we went to stain it that the genius' who re-did the floor before decided to go diagonal across the wood panels............ I'm not sure what possessed them to do that, buuut it made for an interesting design when we went to stain. And I have no idea what they put on the floor, but whatever it was sunk into the grain beyond what our sander could get and it was completely blotchy. Needless to say, I was bummed... It was basically do or die. It would look horrible if we left it, and it might look horrible if we did something. Sooo we tried it again and it looks 100% better. Yay! Just waiting for it to dry.
Kitchen is 80% done! I am just finishing (while little man sleeps) the last of the cupboards and then let the organizing begin! The marble tiled floors look A-mazing. I feel like I'm walking on luxury every time I cross the kitchen. I'm beyond excited to see the finished product. Pictures will be posted.
We are making great memories in our basement though. This has been our residence upon moving in. It is just about as big as our one bedroom apartment. Pretty much used to being cramped... Fun times. The bare studs, open rafters and kid stained carpet make it extra cozy. I have put up twinkle lights to make give it 5oz of charm.
Little man is doing exceptionally well! We get a great report every time we go into see the Dr.'s. He now weighs over 15.9lbs!! They have all said that we would never be able to tell he has CF if it wasn't for the infant screening program. That kid is about the smiliest baby I have ever seen. He laughs at just about anything, especially if it's Mom and Dad looking completely and embarrassingly ridiculous. He loves Eli too. Whenever Eli comes up to sniff him or give him a kiss on the face he squeals with delight and reaches out to grab a tuff of fur. He is going to be one rambunctious kid and a wizard at getting out of trouble. That little guy already has me wrapped around his chubby little fingers, *sigh* and I love it. I think I might burst with how adorable he is... I may or may not be biased though...
Keep up the prayers and encouragement please!! It is holding our family up!
Thanks all! Love ya and God Bless!!
