and here takes a while...
but more frequently than the grocery store, we've been hanging out at the sunny (sonny?) porch inn. rather than explaining why an old frame house has been given such a fun name (my sister in law is much better at telling these stories!), i'll just tell you why we've been here.
you see...we're moving.
yes.
again.
but before you get all crazy, we're simply moving down the road. still in our sweet town.
to a two bedroom, 1 bath house.
and i'll tell you what, i couldn't be more excited!!
and that's the truth.
michael's parents are allowing us to do some work to a house that michael's grandfather built. and actually, the work started last summer when michael, his sisters, and their husbands and children gutted and cleaned the house. pregnant girl had to sit back and watch as they waded through what was left after the house had been abandoned by former tenants (70s?,80s?)...
"sonny porche" and his mama...
everyone has a part in re-doing the s.p.i. and it will eventually be used as a camp house for all. but until then, we are getting it ready to become our next home.
so that's where we've been. and we've been packing too. because we have a contract on our current home! it's nuts around here. i mean, nuts.
but here's the fun part. some of these pictures are for the sake of my sisters (in-laws)--to keep them tuned in while they're away. sit back, enjoy our progress!
painting the kitchen
(before)
(after)
we painted the cabinets. they're not really installed yet, just a peek at what's to come.
and the trim
a look outside...doc's territory
hello handsome
this is my husband pulling fence.
and being handsome.
and finally, the little troops.
what the sweetest baby in the world does while we work...
the toddlers for security from snakes club
