Our New House

After many, many requests, I am finally posting pictures of our new house. 

So, when we first bought the house, it was a wall to ceiling yellowish beige (as you'll see in the before pictures), which is not really my taste.  But thanks to the help of Amanda, Virginia and Christy we were able to pretty much finish painting the entire upstairs before the furniture arrived.  It was a huge project, but we did it.  Whew!  Thank you so much for your help!  Without you, we really couldn't have accomplished as much in such a short amount of time!

I am just about finished with the decor, but it's always a work in progress for me. 
Anyhow, welcome to our home. 

Here's the foyer before...

This is the front office.

Here's a painting I painted for the back wall of the living room over the stairs leading to the basement.

Here's the upstairs bathroom next to Mason's room.  I haven't finished decorating Mason's room yet, so I don't have pictures yet...

Well, that is all I have for now.  We haven't even started on the basement yet, but we will once we have the family/entertainment room finished.  We're hoping to start on that in the next month or so.  


Ok, so I couldn't not post new pictures of Mason.  :)   We took these on his 10 month birthday.  He's growing up so fast.  The other night I was pointing at Sadie saying dogie and he imitated me saying "dod dee".  He just loves Sadie.  
I also have new stats as of his 10 month appointment:  He's weighing in at about 27lbs and measuring 31.5" tall.  Our doctor thinks there's a pretty good chance he's going to be tall since his percentiles have been consistent all along.  It's fun to imagine!  I'm just happy he's healthy and happy.   




Hope everyone is enjoying the new year!  We love you!
