Baby Stuff

The picture above is apparently his boy part. At 18 weeks 6 days he weighed about 1/2 a pound.

House Update

It is coming along slowly. Closing in the first week or 2 of July, hopefully. The floors are in now too but the door has been locked so no pictures yet. Should get some this weekend.

Countertops are in now. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the granite we got for the kitchen. The pictures don't do it justice but it is awesome!!! The movers are here today loading up all the big furniture. We will be moving a few things down to a neighbors empty house this week where we will be staying hopefully until our new place is done 3-4 weeks from now. They are in a little holding pattern to finish up the brick. There is one wall outside that the original engineering plans for this house were for stucco but the construction manager in our particular neighborhood hates doing stucco so they are talking to the engineers about how to get brick on the wall. Hopefullly they will get that resolved soon and the rest of the build will go smoothly. I NEED A HOME!!!!

House Update

Just back in town and the house is moving right along. We were suprised to see the walls have texture, the cabinets are installed and a lot of the trim work is done. Brick and stone going on as we speak! Hopefully it will continue to move along this quickly!!

House Update

This is the side view of the house, where the roofing material is missing is where they will be fixing the bedroom.

So, after some brief house drama, we are moving right along. I was in Wichita for a few days and Bob called and told me that one of the upstairs bedrooms had been cut down by 45ish square feet. THATS A LOT!!!! So we made some calls and everyone at the builder said, sorry but that is to plan. Because we decided to extend the one car garage into a two car the bedroom above it apparently had to be cut. I really wasn't having any of that. So we finally sat down with some people on Thursday and they went back to the architects and had them re-draw the plan to put back the bedroom the way it was supposed to be. It only took 1 major meltdown to make that happen!!

House Update

We didn't get off to a smooth start so far. They were supposed to pour the foundation Monday 3/29, we went over to check it out and meet the new sales rep that afternoon and there was no foundation. We met Christin who replaced the original sales person we were working with and she let us know that the original survey was incorrect and the forms had been set in the easment. So, they had to tear it all down and move it over 18". They were supposed to get all of it moved and pour the foundation on Monday 4/5 but for whatever reason they didn't do it then either. Finally they got it done on Thursday. Bob stopped by this morning and they actually had the first floor all framed so hopefully now that the ball is rolling, all will progress on schedule. We close on our current house on Monday, we are leasing it back from the buyers for 60 days. Here are some picutures of the progress.

New Ride

Forms are up

New house stuff

We finalized our selections today for the new house. They should be breaking ground in the next week or two.



This is our brick and stone on another house.



Carpet, tile on the left is going in the upstairs baths



This is the master bath granite, travertine floor and shower. Shower floor and shower accent tiles are the little squares.




Kitchen Granite and backsplash

Here are the cabinets with the kitchen granite. Wood floors for the first floor except carpet in the master bedroom and tile in the master bath

Here is our lot. It goes a little farther on each side so it is pretty good sized.
