We are almost done!

Oh my goodness gracious. I can't believe how long it has been since I last posted. I can't tell you how busy I am with work and the boys. All great things, but I'm lacking in the blog department. So, here I am! It is already nearing house completion and soon it will be daddy's birthday, and shortly after we move, the boys will both start school. It is going to be crazy.

Summer has literally flown by. As I sit here and type this it is hard to believe that it is a whopping 60 degrees outside and already feeling like fall. The boys are doing awesome. They are busier than ever both physically and socially and for that we are so thankful.

My photography career has really exploded in the Milwaukee area. I am so blessed. I, however, so so excited for winter to be here so I can regroup myself and continue my education. Summer will definitely be my most strenuous season as the weather is perfect. What I wanted to be a weekend job has overflowed into weeknights/days and I have to say I am thankful. If it wasn't for Brad to allow me to get my work done during awake hours, I would conform into a zombie.

The house is so almost done! We are in the finishing touches now and are just waiting for our closing date. September 11th is the date. We can't wait. This whole process just was great. Here are some pictures from last night:

Sam, always up to something!

Our outdoor lights have been installed!

Sam and Matthew in love with their basement. The sad part is, they think their basement is going to be like our neighbors, full of toys and carpeted etc....little do they know, and care to know, what they see is what they get :). 4 SOLID STRONG CEMENT WALLS.

Our Water heater!

Our water was connected and now we have running water!

The furnace is in place, ready to warm us up in winter.

Our kitchen!! The pendant lights are up!

Another kitchen shot standing in the family room.

Our Microwave!

The doors were all painted and look perfect!

Our two story foyer chandelier is installed. Love it.

Pedestal sink in powder room ready and working

Toilets all in!

Sam and Matthew building something in the front.

These two boys amaze me with their creativity. They get bored, as they should easily. So, I told them they could go outside one night and build me something. When I came out, they said they are building me a house...here is what it looked like!

Not bad for a 3 and 4 year old! I love my new house. And one of the most exciting parts is...WE NOW HAVE A MAILBOX!!!!

Our next post will most likely be when they lay the carpets!!!!! Stay tuned...and I promise I will try better to update....
