We're ALMOST there!!!!

Sorry, I still do not have permission to post pictures but I do want to give an update. We are inches from the finish line!!! The painting was completed last week which was the last major construction thing we needed done. Ev installed most of the appliances this weekend (thanks to Dan & Ang for helping with the heavy lifting) and is installing the dishwasher as we speak ~ the last one to go in. Can I just say how much I love that my husband can do handy things like that. All that's left is minor details here and there. Even though we have appliances we can't cook yet because we have no pots, pans, knives, etc. We have to wait for the smoke cleaning people to return all that on Thursday. So if all goes according to plan we should have a home cooked meal on FRIDAY!!!

I can't wait to cook on my new range. It's dual fuel so I have a gas cooktop. I have NEVER had a gas cooktop. Never in married life, never growing up, NEVER. I can't wait for instant heat and instant shut off. I feel so pro :) Since I can't post with out pictures here's what the backyard looked like while they were painting! They stretched out two huge ladders over buckets and laid all the doors on the ladders ~ then sprayed. We now have 30 doors and 11 drawers. A major upgrade from the 3 drawers we had in the old kitchen. Now we can actually have a junk drawer :)

Bob Loblaw

One of my favorite shows of all time is Arrested Development. That show was just plain hilarious. At one point in the show they needed an attorney and hired Bob Loblaw. You have to say that name out loud to get the full effect. Cracks me up. Here's the link, watch to the end.

Journaling:
This is my absolute favorite picture of you and me, Lainie Boo. You sitting in my lap, totally still and content watching the waves lap the beach. Your chubby little tummy and adorable ponytails. Me with Micah growing in my belly. Pressing a kiss to your preciously little head. That day was absolute bliss. We had no idea of how life was about to change. You would no longer be the baby of the family for much longer with the arrival of baby number four. But for that day it was blissful to just hold you and delight in the feel of you pressed into my lap. You are so dear to me my precious girl and I treasure moments like these.
