Short and sweet

It's looking like monthly posts are all I'm getting in so far. I have soo much to update on and still need to upload a bunch of pictures.

All in all things are going well here in the old farmhouse.

Boxes are slowly but surely getting put away, a wall has come down and back up again, and hopefully by the end of the week I'll have an art space for Mason and an organized linen closet.

Until things get downloaded.... Happy Holidays!

Colby's hair

Did I mention that Colby decided to chop her hair?? She donated 8 inches. =)

Now we even more alike.

A month? Really??

So I noticed that it's been over a month since our last post. I'll have to put up some more pics as to how the house is coming. Sadly I forgot to take a picture of the hole I left in the wall after falling off the radiator. Though on a positive note, it did allow us to verify that particular part of wall did have insulation. Not the correct amount.... but there was some there! Oh and there's a pipe in that wall as well and it hurts to fall into it.

In the mean time, is there anyone that wants to make me one of these???

Or maybe just teach me how. But then again, I'm kind of swapped with projects right now so maybe you can just teach me after you help me finish things. =)

House Pics

Here's some various pics of the new house in progress. Most of the pictures are from the main room as that has been the one that we've been stripping wallpaper and messing with the most. I'll try to get some pics of the rest of the place after I unpack the camera.

New House

We have officially bought and have mostly moved into our new house. FINALLY!! It was a long process and a lot of paperwork and a lot of signing our lives away, but in the end, we have a house where I swear the walls lean more and more each day. But they are my leaning walls and if I want to tear them down, I can (and Kevin would probably like that as there is a lot electrical updating to be done anyway).

So... we now live in the compound. I think you can just send all mail to the Freeman Compound, Dixboro, MI and we'll probably get it. =)

Party update

Party will be in Dixboro. Mason would like costumes if you're up for them. Not sure what house it'll be in... that'll be a TBA as we are hoping to close on the new place next week. =)

To a good home

Well, the world moves on. We still don't have a closing date for the new place. It's a lot of more paperwork and more paperwork and did I mention more paperwork? I'm hoping for maybe closing sometime this year.

Aside from that, work is work. The kids have started in new schools and seem to be doing well. I cut off 10 inches of my hair and added in some purple highlights.

And, I'm hoping to have Mason's birthday party on October 1st. I'm thinking around 1:30ish, though I have no clue where the party will be. I'd like it to be at the new house (please see first paragraph).
