We never thought it would happen!!!

Well we are now finished. Minus a few little touch ups that we (meaning Tim because I cannot be around the paint) have to do here and there. Once they installed the carpet and tile it just seemed to be complete. Tim and my dad worked on the bathroom putting in the vanity, sink, tub and all. As you can see Dad busy in concentration. Did you notice he is not wearing any glasses!?! He is now enjoying the benefits of being about to see with out glasses or contacts because a couple weeks ago he had his eyes lazered and seems to be loving it.

While working on the basement Hunter (little brother) was busy creating "The Ultimate Jet" with the top speed of 1000 miles per hour. Notice the mop on top of his head? It is no longer there as of Wednesday night. According to Hunter is his head now feels lighter than ever.

TaDa...The finished product.


Once the carpet and everything was in Tim was so excited to move the TV downstairs. I on the other hand was not since the only place to sit would be the floor. But needless to say we immediately moved the TV downstairs on Saturday, Feb 9th. I did not enjoy this because being pregnant the floor is not the most comfortable place to sit where I watch a lot of TV. Thankfully Andrew (brother) let us borrow his banana chair which wasn't much better -but it was better than the floor. Then on Valentines Day I came home from work to find....
New Reclining couches!
(special thanks to our neighbor Ragnar for hooking us up with a good deal!)

We then moved the piano downstairs into the living room.

While we are loving the new room there is one member of the family that is struggling with the adjustment -Pike. He loves being in the living room sitting on top of the couch just like a cat (you can see him in the above picture as well). Tim and I will be sitting downstairs and Pike will be upstairs running from door to door waiting for us to come upstairs and play with him. We still have some of his dog toys and pillows upstairs and are slowly moving them downstairs.
