NOLAN PATRICK!!!!

So I know that I don't blog near enough anymore.  I have a son and 3 daughters who demand a lot of attention.  I have been back to work for 2 full weeks now and all is going well.  Not getting enough sleep yet, but that will come!  Here are some pictures of Nolan over the past several weeks.  He is 2 months old already and getting so big, so fast!

Nolan - A future UNI Football Player?  If he plays basketball like his daddy, maybe a future UNI Basketball Player!

My little monkey boy!  I love him so much.

This is the little suit/tux that he wore for his baptism.

Of course, all of my children have to have clothing that says something about their aunt Cathy.  This one says, "My Aunt Rocks".

Grandpa's Little Buckaroo!

Moving Right Along

So today was our first snow day of the school year! I haven't updated on the blog lately so here is a good chance to do that. A lot of these pictures are from fall before snow, but some are from just yesterday. Front of house - Some things won't get finished until spring, but the outside is mainly done.

Another view of the front. 4 wooden posts on front porch will get stone and white trim. Then it will be mostly enclosed.

Back of house. Deck isn't quite done in this picture, but it is now. We put a small retaining wall on each side of the back of the house. It will be interesting for all of the mowing with the slant of our lot.

Kitchen cabinet installation finished yesterday after the wood flooring got put down Wednesday of this week. The flooring is a maple hardwood and it is dark. The cabinets are hickory with a light stain.

Rest of the kitchen.

Main floor bathroom got painted yesterday. It is a slate blue.

More painting got done yesterday in the living room.

Laundry room also got painted yesterday.

Master bathroom shower is all tiled. Just needs to be grouted.

Closer view of the master bathroom shower.

Basement bathroom got painted yesterday also. It is a green.


Not sure if anything is happening up at the house today. Not venturing out in the snow unless Terry gets home and he can drive me up there. Hoping to move to new house at the end of February!!
