No sunny front porch pictures for us.. no way in this weather. It downpoured all night and this morning, so we had to drive to the new house and stand in the garage to look for the school bus. However, aren't we lucky that it is supposed to be 95 degrees today in an un-airconditioned school?
Open house was last night, so the boys got to find their rooms and lockers, meet their teachers, and see a few old/new friends from baseball. Oh, and more importantly get free cookies in the cafeteria. I think everyone will be pretty adjusted after today. Except for
E, who couldn't quite understand why she wasn't getting on the bus too to go to her school, but she gets to go in a couple of weeks . ( Sept.7th).
Two things to note in this picture. M's bottom two baby teeth are missing, but the old ones were in first, so I think we might be looking at some braces in a couple years. Also, behind the kids are the interior doors to the house. They should go in this week or next.
Here are some not so great pictures of the new floor in the front entry. They are bamboo, and if you look close you can see the bamboo markings. Pretty cool. They should be working on floors all the way through Sunday. Oh.. we have another second showing on this house Saturday Morning. Wish us luck.
OK, not us, exactly. Our house might be though. It will be in the 9/4/07 issue of The USA Today. There will be an article somewhere discussing the real estate slump. The paper called the president of the Board of Realtors and wanted a pic of an average house for sale in the area. He picked ours! Not sure what section or how big the article will be, but we are hoping for some increased interest and possibly a sale out of the deal. Everyone be on the lookout next Tuesday!

The first coat of paint went on yesterday. The hardwood floors go down this week, then the cabinets and trim, then they will do a second coat of paint.
The door on the left is the kids bathroom, on the right is M's room.
This is the barrell ceiling in the wet bar, not a great shot, but you can kind of see the arc.
The view out of E's room to the cul-de-sac.
E by the master tub now that it's all drywalled in.
The backyard. We may find out soon if someone is building behind us.
Suprise!!!!
So the drywall is roughed in as of today. The drywall finishers will start Monday and hopefully be done in two weeks, then on to paint and flooring. Above is the front enterance
This is the kitchen view and the doorway into the dining room, then the view out to the front of the house. That short angled wall there is where the stove will go.
The great room. We are anxious for someone to build behind us to kind of shield the backyard from the street, however until then the boys will have a great football field.
