Piper


Piper LOVES frogs (toads)! Whenever we go on a walk at night, she likes to look for this little frog that has taken up residence in our neighbors corner. It's really cute.

And We're Back

OK! So Here is another house update. Sorry, I haven't been very good at keeping up with it but it's just been moving so fast that I think "oh I'll post new pictures tomorrow because this or that will be done..." Etc. Anyway, here is what is looks like as of last friday. This is Piper's bathroom (not supposed to be pink - not sure when they'll repaint??) And then we have Piper's bedroom (notice the beadboard door!!!!!!! Loving it!!) AND notice the big window - yup that was a change I made from the original plans. There's only supposed to be a single window there but I had them change it to a double window and am SO glad I did.


K... So here is the dining room! I was worried about that bead board but I think it turned out just fine. I was also very worried about the tile (surprise surprise) but I really like that TOO! (It looks a little lighter in person).
I changed my hardwood option like a week or two before it was put in (talk about cutting it close!) I changed it from the distessed planks to the brazilian hardwood (hope this didn't hurt any of the amazon:( )
K... On to the Kitchen. The Granite was put in on Thursday and I've been dying to see it! I think it matches just great.



Alright here is curtis' creation! He added the "spot lights" "can lights" (whatever they are called) over the fireplace and in the foyer. He told me he had done it but I couldn't really picture what he was talking about. But now, after seeing it I LOVE IT!!!! Good job Curtis!!!!!!

And there you have it. That's the house. We are so excited to move in. I've been packing a little here and there but probably should step it up!! Only 1.5 weeks left! I have Curtis recite the schedule to me every night - yesturday was the carpet, today is cleaning and something with water, and hopefully by the end of the week - landscaping. I'm trying not to go up to see it until saturday so I don't waste anymore gas! Iwent up at least 4 times last week! Not good on the gas tank - oops.
So enough about the house. Piper is super cute and getting bigger. She loves her daddy and now says "ba-bye dada" WAY CUTE. She has a mind of her own though and LOVES to push my buttons. Oh well, what can you do - guess it's just the age. I'll put up pics of her next.

My cell phone was ran over by a lawn mower.
