Where have I been?

Busy...that's where.

The house is done and we've moved in. We're only on our 4th or 5th night here.

Wishing everyone a very Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Renovation...

The renovation has officially started. The slab was poured at the end of April and then we waited...waited...and waited as the slab cured.

We visited the slab often!!!

Finally, progress was made and we've got walls & we even have a complete roof over it too.

The framing of the addition is done and Wade had the very daunting task of taking all of the brick off of the original house. He did it all by himself in a weekend and the house was officially see through. It didn't take long to get the new OSB put up and it's no longer see through. The windows are out and the new ones will be installed in a few weeks. We're making progress!!!

More pictures and posts soon!!!

Something to blog about...

I've been so busy doing everything else you can possibly imagine that I have neglected so many things. One of those things is posting something here...

I am trying really hard to make a go of this UpperCase Living stuff. It's fun, it's inexpensive and it's so unique. I know I may sound as if I'm begging, but if you haven't taken a look at my sight and the catalog, please do.

Let me know if there is anything I can help you with!!!

One of the other things I've neglected terribly is my camera. I do love it and love taking pictures. I need to some new subjects that aren't so sick and tired of me coming after them with the camera. Unfortunately I don't have any new pictures to share, so I decided to take a quick trip down memory lane to remind myself that time flies by entirely too fast.

That's Julia on the left and Megan on the right...

My first babies have grown so much since then...

Everyone have a great week and HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!

XOXO,

Momma's so proud...

This post is about 2 momma's being proud. One of those is the mother of sweet birthday girl Georgia. I'm sure I speak for her and the entire family when I say "what a beautiful young lady you are becoming!"

Happy Birthday Gigi!!!

The other momma is me of course. My girly girl of the twins made the very "big girl" decision to have her ears pierced today. It's not something we set out to do. The opportunity presented itself and just like that, it was done. Now of course there were tears, but she held it together and she is so proud of her real earrings and I am so very proud of her.

Having a little fun at "Sweet & Sassy" before...

Looking a little nervous...

So very beautiful and proud!!!

Have a great week.

The Popeye...

We don't really know why she does this and we've found that she can easily alternate between eyes. We have discovered that it's just plain adorable and I couldn't go another day without posting this picture!!!

Who needs traditional toys when you've got an old metal paint can opener to play with.

Enjoy!!!

A family, a horse & some glue...

An interesting title for an interesting Sunday. I took some Christmas card pictures for a family and had great fun doing it. I think I got some good pictures even though I'm still very amatuer at this. I encountered a rather cooperative and photogenic horse and during my brief time away from the house, my sweet Holly busted her chin open. That's where the glue comes. A quick trip to the ER, a little skin glue and she's all better. All in all; a good day. Enjoy the pictures and this cooler weather!!!

Have a wonderful week!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!
