It's been a long time!!!

Wow, I can't believe that it has almost been a month since I posted on our blog. It has been a crazy busy month.
The first of June, our church had VBS. I was a volunteer, so Peyton was able to be in nursery with kids his age. He was a part of a lesson every day. He loved it!! We were both absolutely exhausted by the end of the week. Peyton was taking 3-4 hour naps every afternoon.
After VBS week, I think, we spent a week recovering. My mind is really going with this pregnancy.
Now we are in the process of remodeling the downstairs of our home. We have pulled up the tile in our entry way and kitchen and carpet in the living room. We are putting tile down. We will only have carpet in the dining room and master bedroom. Dwayne began this remodel last tuesday with demolition of everything. It took 4 long evenings to get everything off the floor. Then my dad, brother in law Scott and Dwayne spent all last weekend laying tile. They worked so so hard. Dwayne is still as I type this post is at the house laying tile. It has been a little bit more work and a little more time consuming than we thought. But, it looks so so good, and will be over soon. We are hoping to be in the house cleaning Saturday and Sunday. Peyton and I have been staying at my parents house since last Wednesday which has been really nice. It has been a little hard for me I will admit seeing my house a huge mess, especially since I am in my third trimester and I am nesting. So, I have been doing my parents laundry and cleaning up around their house. I will post before and after pictures sometime next week.

We are also trying to finish getting last minute things ready for the baby. I only have 7 weeks till my c-section. I think that July will start out busy due to finishing the house, but hopefully things will settle down soon and we can relax before Brady joins us!!

We hope that you are all having a wonderful start to your summer.

Oh my gosh! What a surprise! Had no idea you were doing all that remodeling. No wonder you haven't posted on your blog. Sure sounds great, though. Am anxious to see the pics you will be sending. You have really been on my mind lately - wondering how you are feeling, etc. Can't believe it is nearly time for Brady to make his appearance. Know you are getting anxious and so am I. Send pictures as soon as you can. Am really anxious to see all the guys hard work.

Love you,
GG

I totally understand how you feel! We have been out of our lake house for 7 months now and it is just now beginning to look like a house again. It has taken a lot more time and ALOT MORE MONEY than we expected, but it will be so great when we can get back in. We, too, will be having all tile -- upstairs and down, except for the two guest rooms upstairs which will have carpet. We can't wait!

I can't believe how fast time is going! It is already almost July, so Brady is starting to consider life on the "outside". I know you can't wait to get your hands on him (you, and sooooo many others!) Anyway, we are looking forward to seeing all of you again somtime soon, hopefully, and also looking forward to meeting Brady! Take care! We love you!
