Progress and the Park

So I have been busy and neglectful of my little blog.
We have finally made some progress..there was finally a weekend without rain and we were able to clear out everything from the garage and then put it all back in and organized manner (ahh the joy of a garage!) which left room to put all the "garage" stuff that was in my living room actually in the garage!
So this:

Is now this:

And this:

Is now this:

There is still much to be done and more "big kid" furniture and stuff to buy and still lots of boxes to unpack and organizing to do.....oh dear....

Today we made our very first visit to the park! And in typical Sophie fashion she responded with either "meh" or dislike.....typical....however in her defense it was a bit windy and a tiny bit chilly so perhaps that was part of what put a damper on the fun.

She did not like the swing

And was nonplussed by swinging with dad

And also by the slide

Windblown hair!

Sliding with mom was no more thrilling.

And I try to remind myself during these times when I am disappointed that my little one did not take to something right away...that someday she will cry when its time to leave the park....

Workin on the weekend!

So this is what we did over Thanksgiving weekend:

See what I mean by serious remodel! We are extremely blessed to have Trevor's step-dad who is an AMAZING and extremely talented contractor that can do anything. He is graciously helping us make this a house we can love.
The above picture is what the dining room currently looks like.
Below is the kitchen.

This is the view from the hallway looking into what was the living room and one of the bedrooms but is now all living room.

This is the living room/hallway from the former bedroom!

So far its looking amazing and all we have done is take things out! We still have a LOT of work to do and the next two weeks are going to be just crazy wild so if I don't post for a while you know why!
