A Sneak Peak...

Ladies and Gents here's a preview of our new house! We move in less than 3 weeks.
It's a 2 story, with a 3 car garage built in 2007
Upstairs- 3 bedrooms and 2 baths
Main- Kitchen, Dinning, Livingroom (open concept), walk-in pantry, laundry room, and the office (aka Burke's play room), 1/2 bath
Basement- They already framed up (& insulated) the walls it just need drywall and carpet, it has the plumbing for a bathroom and has a 4th bedroom.
As for the yard... well it's going to need a lot of TLC! We have 2 lots which is a little over an acre.

We feel so lucky to have gotten this house and CAN NOT wait to move in!

I can't wait to post before and after picts of the inside and out!

Pool Time!

Last week we went swimming for the first time this summer. Amanda and the kids invited us to Peggy's. Burke really enjoyed being in the pool!

Paul left on Thursday to go on the annual Gull Lake golf trip. They golfed 36 Friday, 36 Saturday, and 18 Sunday. Burke and I stayed at my parents while Paul was gone. We played outside a lot. Burke was hanging out in his turtle pool and his swinging most of the time.

Family Birthday Party!

We had Burke's Birthday Party on Sunday June 21st. He had a great party. Thank you all so much for coming!! Burke can't wait to play with all of his new toys and clothes :)

The two pictures below were from Friday on his actual birthday. He had a mini cupcake and loved the frosting.

Check back... I'll be posting more pictures from his party soon!

Moms club playdate for Burke's Birthday!

This morning we had some of the Mom's club over to play (10 moms and 15 kids). The kids had a lot of fun. I'm so glad we had them over!

Happy 1st Birthday Burke!

Tongue

We have been working on pointing out body parts and on Sunday when I asked him if I could see his tongue he showed me. I thought it was a fluke but when you ask him he still does it. He's so smart!

new toys!

Homeless

Paul, Burke and I drove down to our house one last time Monday afternoon. We drove around the area a little bit then went to our house, where we meet the new owners. (It puts things into prospective when you actually meet the people you have been writing offers back and forth to.) Anyways we showed them around the 'hood, told them a little more about the house. After that we went to Kona Grill and had some sushi. We slept on the floor in our empty house one last time. Tuesday morning was our closing at 9 am and it went very smooth. We arrive back in LaPorte around noon.
