Wordless Wednesday - Our Furballs

A little change will do you good.

My wonderful hubs keeps changing our "renovation schedule" first he decided to paint before laying the floor, then he changed it to lay floor before painting, now he is back to the original plan. So, you can replace 'Lay Flooring' with 'Begin Painting' on the Week 2 plan. He is over at the house painting as I type. The termite treatment was changed from week 1 to week 2 and is now going to have to be moved to week 3. They can't do it unless it has been dry for the 48 hours before and here in Kentucky it has been raining just about every single day. Hopefully, the termite treatment will happen next week but I've said that before. Seth did finish repairing the sub-flooring and is almost finished with the drywall, so kudos to him for working so hard. I just love him dearly, can you tell?

Another big change this week... MY MOM GOT A NEW DOG! Brandy our full size Doberman Pinscher died several months ago after years with our family. My parents house one of my dogs, Dallas and my sister's dog Cophie (like Sophie with a C) so they were maxed out on dog room. BUT once we move into the new house we are taking Dallas (German Shepherd) with us so we will have two dogs, Dallas and Daisy. Mom decided that since Dallas was leaving it was the perfect time for her to get the new puppy she had been wanting. So last night they traveled to Eastern Kentucky and my Father got my Mother a Mini Pinscher for their 25th Anniversary which is in mid August. She named her Roxy and she is incrediby adorable. See for youself below. I guess it is true, a little change can do you good.

The Plan - Week 2

Today ends the first week of our renovation project and I must say that I am very impressed with my husband and all his helpers. They have managed to achieve everything listed on Week 1's list. As I type Seth is already at the house this morning working on the bathrooms, which are not even on the list until next week which begins tomorrow, so we are AHEAD of schedule!!! Just to review our first week consisted of closing, making lots of appointments, getting water and electric turned on, the delivery of our rental dumpster, tearing out wallpaper, knocking down walls, starting to repair sub-flooring and drywall and a little bit of packing. Shew that's a mouth full. We had hoped to have had the termite treatment completed this week but because of all the Kentucky summer rain, we have moved that onto the week 2's list. Speaking of which, here goes...

Week of July 27 - Aug 2, 2009

• Termite treatment (hopefully)
• Finish repairing sub-flooring and drywall
• Start bathrooms (already started!)
• Lay new flooring (Seth has decided to do this before painting, I don't know why)
• Continue packing here.
  

A big chunk of week 2 is going to be spent on the flooring. Yesterday, Seth had our dogs Dallas and Daisy at the house, they LOVE their new backyard. Check back soon =)

Third times a charm... right?

So, this is the third blog I have started. I just can't find the RIGHT way to express what I want to be expressed in a blog.

I have decided to blog about my #1 job, being a mommy!!! My son Colton is almost 17 months old, he was born 4 months early, so I am quite accustomed to the world of preemies. His story has been told plenty of times, if you would like to read it for yourself click here.

I live in Frankfort, Kentucky with my husband Seth and our puppy Daisy, she is more trouble than Colton, honestly. My family and friends mean the world to me and I couldn't have gotten through the last couple years without them.

I am genuinely hoping that this blog will stick... I need it to, for the sake of my sanity.

That is all for now, happy blogging!
