The house is coming along great! We finally have a crew of actually painters thanks to Momo tracking down a guy at the gas station during her visit. These guys are awesome and more importantly fast and cheap! On a different note, does anyone know how long it takes for a goose to hatch an egg? We found this nest leading out to our dock, and it turns out geese are extremely protective. Scrappy found that out the hard way when he went down to see what was going on. And as luck would have it, the nest is directly blocking our access to the dock. Since we aren't going to destroy the nest, I guess we're just going to have to wait her out. The good news is though that we'll have baby geese at some point.

We're Getting There.....
The dogs are keeping me company today, but they are on lock down because I let them run around for 5 minutes without watching them and Scrappy was about 6 blocks away when I went to find him. First priority is a better fence!
We're finally making some progress on the painting. I'm in charge of supervising today and I was just thinking that the guys had worked quite a while without a smoke break when it dawned on me to check out front. Low and behold, that is where they were. No telling how many they've taken without my knowing. I'm on to them now, though!

Big News
We're having a GIRL!! We're so excited! We found out yesterday, and the tech said he was 99.9% sure. Momo is in town this week, so we're going to start outfitting the nursery. I can't wait!

Progress?
Everyone has been wanting pictures showing all the great progress on the house, but after taking a few photos, I realized that it doesn't appear as though we've made any progress. However, we are now mold free, have a new hot water heater, one working toilet, some new insulation, and the rough plumbing for a new shower. By this week, we are hoping to get all the drywall back in place and start painting, so I should have something exciting to show for all our work soon. In the meantime, it rained over the weekend, so I can confirm that you can hear the sound of rushing water in our little creek from our bedroom. I can't wait!

Moving Again!
Most of you know by now that we are fixing up an old lake house that belongs to John's parents. John started the demo yesterday and we are hoping to move in by the end of the month. The dogs love chasing all the ducks away, but there were two geese that realized they were untouchable on the water. We're really excited to get in there. I have big plans for landscaping and a garden, but we'll see if I actually accomplish any of that. Here are some of our "before" pictures.
Baby Front
On the baby front, things are going really well. I am 16 weeks along and although Kelli got to find out early what she was having, we are not having the same luck. We went in Tuesday for a sonogram, but they couldn't tell us for sure. However, the tech was leaning toward girl. We go back in two weeks, so hopefully we'll know for sure then and we can start painting walls!
