A Girl and her Dog

Emma Clare loves LouLou. Like really, really loves Lou. We are so happy to have her back in our family. She is doing well, and is adjusting to her new home! Enjoy the pics!

Doggie want a cracker?!

Time for morning cuddles!

Moving Day!

So, we moved! Yep it was a long, crazy weekend! We kicked it off Thursday night with Em crying and miserable with an ear infection (yes, that is the second one in a month now that she is without a tube...). Poor baby had a rough few days (and mommy had little sleep) but she doing well now. We still have a few things at the old house but should have very thing finished off this weeknight! Enjoy the pics! I still need to take a pick of the family and upstairs rooms-but they are still a work in progress so next week!

Em sleeping with KC.

Soccer in the new house, why not?

Play room-on its way to being set up.

Bathroom makeover-it is really difficult to take a pic of the bathroom..but we painted and put down new flooring, new vanity and new toilet. Basically updated everything but the shower (which was in good condition).

Kitchen! Painted the walls, updated the hardware. Still need to decorate a bit (oh and maybe get some new stools!). Our hope is within the year to lay new tile flooring and maybe get new counter tops. The cabinets are in great shape and all the appliances are new (except for the fridge-which we'll just be keeping until it die and then replace). So, still a bit of a work in progress but we are LOVING the space! 

Home Sweet Home!

Ok, so it is official! We are homeowners once again! Look at that beautiful house! We are so far beyond excited. This is the perfect house for us. I cannot wait to get everything moved in and really start to make it feel like home. I know this house is going to bring us lots of really great memories! As you can see below, we are crazy, and the projects have already started. Saturday started with overhauling the RED RED RED walls, to a nice soft blue/grey. Oh and ripping out a toilet and vanity in the downstairs bathroom (not pictured-oh and not done yet...). Sunday came and a wall came down to make a HUGE master bedroom. It makes a big difference! As I'm sure you can imagine! Family and friends really pitched in to help us out-from helping with the work to entertaining the little one (who is so beautiful, and smart, and is going to be 3, and and I love, ok I could go on forever about that little girl!). This weekend is the "big" move, so lots more pictures next week!

Home sweet home! Look at that little sweetie holding the sold sign!

Good bye wall! Don't worry, I'll take an updated pic this week-already looks amazing, but we still have to do drywall. 

Before (holy red)

Kind of hurts the eyes, doesn't it?

And after. Much better, at least in my humble opinion! Oh, and wondering how many coats of paint to cover that red? One. That is right folks! If you need to paint over a dark color, I would HIGHLY recommend Behr Marquee. Amazing product! Worth the extra cash spent for sure!

Updated hardware in progress (excuse the mess!) and cabinets polished with lemon oil (I was SHOCKED at how much better they looked!)

Our beautiful little girl (couldn't forget her now!)

Lunch with Nana (happy girl!)

Look at that face! Love her! 

Crazy busy week! Work has been pretty busy, and we are attempting to get the house packed up! We'll be signing the closing paperwork tonight, and should get the keys tomorrow, as long as all goes well. Fingers crossed! Em is cuter than ever, always having fun and great imagination. We are totally in need of some good weather and getting out of the house! As you can see from the pictures below...Em is taking over the joint!

Like my outfit?
