Update

Okay, so we are finally done with the house!!! (Well, not quite, but close enough that we feel like we can breathe!) We had our first open house on a very crappy day, with zero advertising (because we weren't done soon enough) and we still had 8 couples and a few nosey neighbors come through. Needless to say, we were very excited. So, I'm attaching some "after photos" although you can't truly appreciate it unless you saw it in person, with the flu. Just imagine lots of hues of green and orange and lots of swag lamps, Circa 1972.

Monday again....

We spent all weekend working on the house AGAIN.... We are getting very close though and Mike has discovered that he is now an electrician. Only thing he has left to learn is plumbing!

Angie asked me what we did with the little guy during this process, and I'll tell you---it hasn't been easy. Poor thing was in the same PJ's from Thursday until Sunday night. He had baby cookie encrusted on his face, and greasy hair (from the girls entertaining him). He has also spent a lot of time in the "baby prison". :) Thank goodness he can visit his friend Noah during the week, so he is not neglected!!

Giving this a Try.....

Maddox's new sitter, and a new friend in Salina gave me this wonderful idea, so I thought I would give it a try. This is my attempt at keeping everyone up to date on our whereabouts and our family.

My wonderful, very understanding supervisor Tom has officially given me the thumbs up to move back to Lawrence!!! We are shooting for a late May move if we can sell our home in Salina. Mike and I have been working very hard to peel the remaining velvet green 1972 wallpaper and remove the last of the medieval-like light fixtures. The house is actually starting to look somewhat modern. It's almost sad to go after all our hard work, but I'm sure we'll manage. :)

Maddox has been "cruising" but still no true crawling. He has discovered his little man parts and is quite amused with them. (Typical male)

We are hoping that this coming year will be a little smoother for us all. Mike and I are really regretting all the time these moves, etc., have taken from the kids.

This was my first visit with my Granny, my aunts Dena and Jenny and Papa Terry. I also got to see Uncle JJ. We got to swim naked, pee in the pool, and throw up in random areas! It was great!!!

This One is for you Papa Terry!!

Daddy has given Max a new wardrobe. He is ready for hunting .... deer and women! (Pay close attention to the hat...)
