House Update

What has happened to me?  I used to be so good at keeping our family blog up to date.  Oh I know, we are building a house and we live in an apartment.  The countdown has begun to our move out date from the apartment.  Happy Birthday Kyle, we are moving out of the apartment on June 30th for your Birthday!!

This is Maddeck's last week as a first grader.  I am already sad, which will come as no surprise, that the year is coming to an end.  We have loved first grade and so has Maddeck.  It has been an awesome year.  The boys have been going to school on Thursday mornings with me to work with reading groups all year.  It has been special to be in the classroom for Psalm singing and getting to know all the little kiddos in the first grade.  We have been blessed beyond measure by the faithful teachers in the classroom.  They are amazing women of God who truly love teaching and children.  We have registered Maddeck and Evan for the fall at The River Academy and are praying for more work for me to do from home to provide the means to send them.  It has all come together for the last three years and we hope that will continue as we desire to continue their education at TRA.  We'll see ...

Here are some pics of our new house.  The house is on pace to be completed by the beginning of July.  We couldn't be more excited.  We also couldn't be more thankful.  The boys are getting excited now that they can see the progress inside.  We are now saying "our house" not "the house" when we drive down the street to visit.  Everything is coming along beautifully.  Our custom cherry cabinets are gorgeous!

Master bath vanity.

All three boys can fit in the cabinet beside the refrigerator.  Good to know for future hide-and-seek games. 

Hardwood floors are in!

Cherry built-in next to the fireplace.  We will have so much storage!!

It is difficult to see what this is, but it is poured concrete in the bottom of our master shower.  Sweet!

This is the laundry room where they will add a sink and counter. 

We chose shaker wood doors throughout the house.
