We're getting close!


We got to have Kami with us for a while! It was a joy to have her working with us!

We have lots of cardboard from the wood flooring so Keslie drew children on them!

Lydia's turn!

There she is!

What a face Sarah!

This week there was a birthday! Sarah turned 11!

Anna and Gracie made her a dress for the doll she got for Christmas! They worked late into the night and it turned out so cute!

Back to the house! Mr. B is working on the stairs.

Mr. Webber was so gracious and offered to help us with things we needed done on the house! He got the counters in the bathroooms ready so dad could lay the tile! He even helped watch the water heater area when dad turned on the water and got all wet since it wasn't supposed to come out there! He has been an incredible blessing, thank you Mr. Webber!

Mr. W working on the stairs too!

Who could that be????

Awww! Kami is sanding!

Mom is painting doors! There are lots to do and many many coats of paint! Whew!


The stairs are ready to be stained!

The attic stairs. Last night mom got them stained so they look a little different right now!

Gracie in the sink!

The toilets are working!

David and Keslie brought our ranges and dishwasher to the house. Josh came that day to help as well! In fact he helped the next day too, thank you Josh!

The kitchen sink faucet!

The mudroom sink is WORKING but since there is no hot water it has been torcher to wash our hands! It hurts being so cold but we can wash and with soap!

Food stuff in the pantry!

Tile in the girls bathroom! Dad did a great job!

Haha! Taylor fixing the toilet!

Mom and dad's closet is done! Grandpa's handywork! He did a wonderful job! Wow!

The girls' sewing corner! I can't wait!

Sarah or Gracie's section

The counter is all grouted and ready for the sinks! News update, sinks are set and faucets are in as of last night!!!!!

The granite guys came Monday!

Here comes the first piece! It is the far corner.

One last shot before the counters are on!

The island.

The watchers!

The ranges and dishwasher in the family room!

The sink slab going in!

There!

He is mixing some horrid smelling stuff, it is the glue I believe. They called it something but I can't remember what it was.

They add color to it to match our counter tops.

Working in the seam. You can hardly see it now! It looks great!

Working on Grandpa's bathroom counter.

Glueing the sinks in!

In comes the island!

Boy, it was heavy! Wow!

Almost on!

There! He is drilling the holes for the faucet.

The first meal served on the island! Taylor looks like so funny and and and....well, yeah, funny! LOL!

The kids wanted to get a treat for the "wokers"! I stopped by the store and got the fixings for Root Beer floats! They said it really hit the spot!

The island sink and faucet! We got a steal on the faucet! God is so good!

There it is all done and ready for all the people that will be coming through our home! We can't wait!

If you all could keep us in your prayers. These last couple of weeks before the move is going to be tough ones, it already has been. With trying to move and finish the house at the same time things have been quite crazy here. We all want to move so bad and the very late nights have been hard. Thank you so much!

I hope you have enjoyed this installment of the blog, please check back soon since I know there will be more pictures!

I am enjoying the photos.
Beautiful Granite! BTW, The horrid smelling stuff is a two-part Epoxy. They mix it with color to make it match.
