Floors, cabinets, trim and stairs!

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you all have a delightful time celebrating the birth of our Savior with your family and friends! May each of you reflect on the great riches we are given in Christ day by day! Here are a few pictures that have been taken around here the last couple of weeks.

For some reason we haven't been getting all the snow that has been falling everywhere around us, but we finally got a couple of inches! We are hoping for a white Christmas! Snow is such fun!)

Grandpa and Taylor heading to work! Grandpa cut his thumb really bad last week on sheet metal and ended up needing surgery to fix some tendons that were cut. The poor guy is so frustrated that he isn't able to use his right hand to work, so Taylor has become his hands! They said it would be in a splint for 6 to 8 weeks, and there is so much to do. We are praying that God would keep up his spirits and make things easy for him to work.
See the bag over his bandage? He didn't want to get it wet! He and Taylor are getting the heaters set up in this picture and they are up and running now!

The lights in our girls' room! I got these 1/2 off!

Dad working on the first of the wood floors! Yippy!

We needed to get the kitchen done because the cabinet guy was bringing the lower cabinets on Monday since the guys are coming to measure for the counter tops today!

Benjamin napping on the job!

Some snow here at home!

The main bath light fixtures!

The cabinets are here! They will darken a lot in about 6 months.


Bathroom cupboards! Yay!

Dad and Mr. K (who made the cabinets) talking over details!

Back to the kitchen! I love the large lazy susan and it's adjustable!

The main bath cabinets! (I did the grout all myself!)

Here is the trim for the windows! Grandpa is doing a great job and with a bad hand, he is amazing!

Yesterday, the guys started working on the stairs! It will be so fun to see them all done!


All the wood for the stairs!

Getting the island ready to be put in.

Thank you for taking the time to take a peek into our lives!
We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year! Blessings to you all!

I was wondering how things were with your family! Thanks for the update. I'm so excited for you. Your house is getting SO CLOSE! Only, I'm afraid you have nowhere near the snow we have!
Love,
Sarah

How exciting for you all to have some snow!

The house is just about there! Can you believe it? I'm sure you never thought it'd be to this point!

It's beautiful! Every bit of it. Thanks for sharing. Now I know another thing we have in common. We both know how to use a caulk gun! :o) Everyone is working so hard. It so neat that it will be so full of memories for you since you all worked together to make it come together. Enjoy your snow!

Amber,
I wasn't as excited about my house when it was being built as I am yours. It is just looking so beautiful!

Wishing you and your wonderful family a blessed and Merry Christmas.
