A New Floor & Some Fun

My parents came to visit on my birthday (July 7) and stayed for a few days. My mom watched the boys a couple days that I worked. My dad stayed busy tearing out our old carpet in the living room and dining room and installing laminate flooring. He did an AMAZING job!!! It looks so nice and is a hundred times better than the stained, smelly carpet in the living and dining rooms. We also took down one paneled wall in the dining room. Thankfully, the paneling was not glued to the wall and there was a nice, sheetrocked wall behind the paneling. We didn't know what to expect behind the paneling, and we were pleasantly surprised. Now, we just need to paint the wall which we will do as we paint the rest of the dining room/kitchen. I have two kitchen walls done so far.  It has been so fun to see our house transforming and becoming a bit more of our style instead of the 1970s! Hopefully I can get some pics taken soon. Even though we were busy that week with work, the boys, and house projects, we still had time to have some fun!

Birthday #28

Opening Silas' birthday present from Grandma and Grandpa

The first night Jonah played in it more than Sy, but Sy loves it now.

My garden less than a month ago. The tomatoes have at least doubled in size since then!

Sy loves his Grandpa "Bapa"

Gotta love that smushy face!

So much fun!
