The good, the bad, and the ugly

The good:



This is what we look out at every morning....all we can see are trees!!! :)

The bad:



This is the current state of our garage. Think it is safe to say that we won't be parking cars in there any time soon.



This is our den. We know one day soon there will actually be room to walk, relax, and play.

And, the UGLY:





This is the current state of our kitchen (and dining room, foyer, and office). Long story short, we had to remove all of the pine wooden floors because water was trapped underneath them. But, we are all dry now, and we are even going to be able to reuse some of the wood.

So, we are all moved in! Ha! Actually, we are technically all moved in, but very far from settled. But, things are going relatively well. The kids have had no adjustment problems at all. We are so glad. Mo was in town this weekend, and she and my Mom helped get the kids' rooms all arranged. So, at least their spaces have some sense of normalcy, and are as clutter-less as possible for now. In fact, Lila and Bennett have been sleeping extra well in their new room. It is nice and dark in there, and they have even taken a few 2 1/2 hour naps this week!! My Mom has been extra accommodating and helpful in the food area since our kitchen is virtually off limits at the moment. We have also had super sweet offers from friends for dinner, which we so appreciate. Then, once everything is done we can't wait to have everyone over here to celebrate!!

Hope you all have a Happy Memorial Day!
Love, Nicole
