Davis Farmland

Colin asked to go to Davis Farmland all summer long. He had been once before, but didn't remember it. When I told 'him it was finally the day for his Davis Farmland trip, he was so excited and said "Thank you Mommy!"

Self defense

Here Colin is "flipping" a full grown man over during a karate demonstration.

House Updates

These pictures are at least a week or so old, but show some of the progress. The end is in sight! Septic system is in, so final grading can begin.

This is the backyard.  This will all be seeded, but I think down the road, we will put shrubs and mulch that hill and maybe build a wall of sorts (no need to have grass on that hill).



The deck just needs side railings and steps.
 
The hardwood is all installed now and just needs to be stained/polyurethaned.  The tile is in the mudroom, bathrooms, and laundry room,as well.  Carpet (on the stairs and in the bedrooms) is one of the last things to go in.
 
Here are the upper cabinets.  Apparently, someone mismeasured, so the lower cabinets had to be re-ordered.  That, of course, means that the countertops can't be installed yet, either.  :(  It will all get worked out, but no more delays please!
 
Lighting fixtures have started to be installed, driveway is ready to be paved, and final interior touchups should be coming up soon.  Then final inspections and appraisals need to happen before a closing date can be scheduled. 

11 months old!

She wants the camera now!
