Floor Reveal

Remember the pics yesterday of my house in disaster mode?  This beautiful floor was the reason.  The old white carpet was torn out and replaced with this cherry Bellawood  solid wood floor.

Below is the dining room.  I took the pics early this morning before all the furniture was moved back in.

The next picture is of our living room.  We still have some trim to put in around the tile on the hearth and in the doorways. 

After these pics were taken, we spent much of the rest of the day putting furniture back in and cleaning up.  SO MUCH DUST! 

What's With The Mess

What would make my kitchen look like this.......
Boxes and trash everywhere.......

And all my furniture in the garage.......
Check in tomorrow.

Chinese New Year.........In China!!!!

Ron is still in China on his first rotation.  Check out the pics of his new city!  Way different than his offshore platform in Nigeria.

He says there is mud everywhere.

Foot bridge to town.

Fireworks on Chinese New Year.  I could hear them in the background when we skyped.

New Toy

Christmas 2012

Just a few shots of this year's Christmas morning!

 

 

 

I know this one is unfocused but the shot does show the chaos that was Christmas morning.

Abby got a donut maker and treated us to a yummy breakfast!

California

I have finally found a minute to download the pics of Mark's boys we took on our recent visit to California.  It was a crazy time.  Loading all their possessions into a moving van, waiting for the house to close so we could get the key and finally moving into the new house.  Once all our nerves recovered, it was time for the boys to become acquainted with their new home and just have a little play time.

Here is Ronan in his superhero cape.  Notice the GQ pose.

Archer and Grandpa in the TV room relaxing.

Odin in his new room.

Ronan again.

It is great to have a grandpa who helps a superhero get ready.

Odin checking out his toy box finds.

Time to go shopping for a few things!  Doesn't Archer look excited?  We had such a great time visiting Mark and his kids that we can't wait to go back soon.
