Recent Pics of Cellar Cir.

You'll just have to trust me when I say these pictures show SO MUCH progress over there at Cellar Cir. You may not see it, but I can remember the hours my dear husband has put in. Most of my time there thus far has been spent cleaning up after the "crew". :) We still have far to go, but we have come a long way too!



Living room. We closed in the far wall (the office is behind that wall) and opened a wide doorway to the right into the dining room. We added recessed lighting and rewired the room.



The Master Bath. Totally gutted, re-wired, drain in the floor moved, re-plumbed, added recessed lighting, new skylight, etc etc etc.



View from kitchen into dining room. Added recessed lighting, re-wired, removed paneling, added insulation, new sheetrock, knocked down a wall, created 1/2 wall separating kitchen and dining room.


Opposite end of same room; looking from fireplace through dining room into the kitchen. Added a skylight (the light part of the ceiling in the kitchen), insulated, re-plumbed, re-wired, added recessed lighting.



Close-up of the kitchen sans cabinets. We plan to order those this week.
I didn't include pics of every room, just the ones that have undergone the most changes. Let me reiterate that I am SO thankful we don't have to live there while we work on all these projects. As you can see, there is a layer of sheetrock dust covering just about everything right now (and I had even swept the floor that day!).

Wow! It's looking great! (We've been through the whole remodel thing--twice now--so I completely understand "progress" in the form of drywall, mud, and wiring!) :o) It'll be fun to see paint and all of those fun "finishing" details. We're actually still working on paint for our new place--someday! :o)

It's really taking shape. I guess we haven't been over in a while. We should see it some time. Keep up the great work!!!

Tonight We Babysat Brianne

Image
How's that for a title? Very creative, I know. Let me know if you ever need me to come up with a witticism for you. Totally kidding here! :) Matt and Jen went out on their monthly Date Night, so we got a chance to have Brianne over for the evening. What fun! They don't really play with each other, just near each other. Hopefully that will change. Bathtime! This cracks me up. Brianne dive-bombed a rubber duck! Who knows what Noah is doing. :) So cheesy, this kid! She really, really wanted my camera. So the whole evening went well. Josh helped out, which was unexpected and wonderful. :) After her bath, Brianne was crying (I think she got cold) and I gave her to Josh while I finished up with Noah. Once we got her warmed up, she was fine. She is such a sweetheart, and we look forward to next month when we get her again for an evening. Oh, and we're so looking forward to our own date night to take place later this month! Somehow I think Matt and Jen are get...

365 Project, week 4

Image
A pretty normal week for us again!  We had lots of everyday moments in preparation for an out-of-the-ordinary week to come.  Here's how it looked:   Daddy time in the evening often involves an episode of Bonanza.  Little Joe is a favorite around here! Bath time for Seth.  Maybe it's because he's my second child, but I do not have anywhere near the amount of baby gear I had with Noah.  Baby bathtub? Nowhere in sight.  It's Kitchen Sink City for us!  For this reason, you may not see an actual bath picture, because it takes all my hands to hold on to Seth in the sink.  If I ever have a helper, we may see good future blackmail bath time photos. :) One afternoon Noah and I took his after-school snack to the dock.  Handi-snacks, anyone?  I, for one, love that they still come with the little red stick for spreading, just like when I was his age! Cowboys are his favorite these days.  What're YOU lookin' at...

My Gunniwolf

Image
If you've never read it before, The Gunniwolf by Wilhelmina Harper is a great children's story!  You get fantastic onomatopoeia ( what?!   that means words that sound like the noises they describe), beautiful illustrations, and an object lesson in obedience to boot.  PLUS, the kids I know seem to love it.  Bonus. Noah's school put on a literacy parade today, in which the children could dress up as a character from a favorite book. (If you ask me, it was just a chance to let the kids try out their Halloween costumes early. But still.)  Noah immediately wanted to be the Gunniwolf.  Knowing that any wolf costume I could find in the stores would come with a horrible scary face and be at least $10, we made his out of felt and glue for $3.25 with a much friendlier face. So, I have a little wolf on my hands.  And next Wednesday, our church's Patch the Pirate Club will be hosting a Noah's Ark party, where the kids can come dressed as any animal th...
