See you in a week.

For your viewing pleasure

I was recently inspired to update my blog template by my dear friend PM after viewing her updated template.

I believe the last time I did anything that involved that much computer knowledge I was enrolled in Computer Usage at the U of M. I told myself that just because I had never changed my template, it didn't mean I couldn't start now. I have to admit, it wasn't all that painful. I may have even enjoyed it a bit.

So, for your viewing pleasure, my new template.

The kids

A few pictures of the new house

Here are a few picturs of our house. Most of what you see will be changed in some capacity. Our projects before we move into the house include: painting the three upstairs bedrooms, hallway, bathroom, dining room and living room, putting in hardwood flooring in the bedrooms and dining room and redoing that bathroom.
The is the arcitectural masterpiece that greeted you when you entered our home. It has since been removed.

This is a view from the entrance to the kitchen/eating area. We intend to redo the kitchen at some point in the future. Curtains with attached butterflies have been removed.

Our bedroom.

The bathroom that will soon be gutted.

Living room with fireplace. (Not to be confused for a fireplace that is an insurance liability as it is purely decorative. You have to plug it in and a a fan moves over the light so it looks like it's "burning".)

We've got the house

This week has been busy with new house stuff. We had a few surprises (a leaking toilet and house of latex paint over oil) but overall we are excited to be getting the house ready so we can move in.

The floors are out of the bedrooms and the hardwoods are sitting in the garage just waiting to be made ready tomorrow. Hopefully then we can spend our energy getting this house ready to sell at the end of the month.

Here are a few pictures of the kids:
