Beginning of the End

Our closing date is set to happen the 15th of September. There is still a lot of interior work that has to be done. It's no surprise to see 10-12 contractors working in the house at a time. It's a very busy place! I just can't see how in the world reality shows can flip a house in such short periods of time.

On Saturday, we spent most of our day cleaning basement floors. It was a lot of work! The basement will be our staging area for unloading boxes. We will begin taking boxes to the new house this week.

On Sunday, I started packing our things at the rental house. We are off to a great start. It's going to take a lot of effort and time to be ready in two weeks! Hope and pray we can make it happen. We are more than ready to move into our new home!

The following pictures were taken on Friday.

We are very excited about the trim work. It was Blake's idea to change it up and do something completely different. I was nervous about it at first. I have come to love it!! They call is Shaker style.


I am very excited about the doors too. I was ready to do something different! I think they go well with our Shaker style trim work.

Louisville Zoo

On Monday, school was not in session and Daddy took a day off work. The four of us went to the Louisville Zoo. We saw all kinds of animals. It was certainly the perfect day. The weather was manageable and it was not crowded at all. We had a really nice time together!

How do you measure up to a full-grown gorilla??

It's Soccer Time!

The fall season is under way. Will is enjoying soccer a lot more this time around. He is quite the player. He's learning to play the very well and keep up with the game. He scored more than 5 goals in his first game. We are very proud of him!

Shelby enjoys going to Will's soccer games. She has found a couple of play buddies, which is really nice for us. It gives us a chance to watch Bubby play! Now that Will is in school, she and I spend a lot more time together. She's learned to count to 13 and knows some of her ABC's. She can sing a few nursery rhymes and Jesus Loves Me. We sing several songs just before bedtime. It's her way of winding down. She loves to dress up and is learning to play more independently, especially now that Will is away at school. She played so hard the other day that she fell asleep on the couch. I guess a princess has to get her beauty sleep!
