The Nursery

Just about everything is done in the nursery, and I LOVE it! Here's a peek, but these pictures don't really do it justice. (The walls are light pink, which is hard to tell in the picture.) We are still lacking a few things, like a rocker to go with the ottoman, a lamp that actually matches and has a shade, and one more curtain to cover up our very ugly mini blinds. But other than that, just about perfect! I had another doctor's appointment today, and everything is still going just fine. From now on, I go every two weeks. Signs that it's getting closer! We can't wait.

Landscaping Fun

We have spent the last three days cleaning up our landscaping in the front yard. It involved two huge trailer fulls of dead plants and bushes we cleaned out, actually renting a tiller, a fairly bad sunburn, and poison ivy all over my arms! It looks about a million times better, but now we need a small fortune in plants to fill in our giant, just cleaned flower beds. The worst part is there is no before picture to show just how bad things were so that all of you reading could appreciate just how much we did. I will say that in the process we broke two shovels and a spade, and had to resort to a pick axe and a chainsaw to get some of the dead bushes out. I made a couple of trips to Home Depot hoping that surprise landscape show would appear and ask if they could make over my landscape, but no such luck. Here's a look.

While John and I were working, Scrappy and Rowdy decided to take things easy and enjoy the sunshine.

Finally!! Some "after" pics

Well it took 3 long weeks, but we are finally settled in. We probably will have projects to do now until the end of time, but the main stuff is done and in the right place! Here's a look at the house after all our efforts. (You can look back at the before pics at the beginning of my blogging days.)
