busy busy busy

i know... life's always busy right? well these past couple weeks definitely take the cake

packing packing and more packing

after 18 months of cleaning out junk, sorting through memories, knocking down sheetrock, building new walls, installing all manner of appliances, fixtures and other necessities... after all the stress, the long days, the move in day is finally ALMOST HERE

three days and counting

thursday should be our first night sleeping in our nice new comfy cozy bed in our brand new bedroom, freshly painted and ready to welcome us home.

until there, we're still here

this is what it looks like -->

tonight

getting ready for the big furniture move tomorrow

(the apt furniture is going to jeff & melissa and mom & dad)

and this is more of what we have to look forward to.......

the new stones in the fireplace (do you call it that when its a stove and not an actual fireplace? i dunno... anyways, you get the idea)

dan built this this weekend

isn't it great!!

the new wood burning stove should be delivered soon

i forget when

that pipe will come out

and be replaced with something new, i'm sure...

again not sure on the details

but the stove is nice

shiny and black

and supposedly easy to use

i like that :)

and the bathroom... isn't this inviting?

that bathtub peeking out of the left corner there is calling me!

we did take a little bit of a break this weekend...

saturday night we went to see Dave's band at Christopher's pub in Raynham. they did really well!! i even enjoyed the music and they don't exactly play stuff i'd normally listen to! we had a great time hanging out with him. nice to have some one-on-one time with dave :)

sunday afternoon we went to my cousin jen's graduation party. she's out of high school and on her way to bridgewater state next year... man we're all getting old!!! we had a great time at Auntie Linda's house ;) fun to have some Litchfields and un-official Litchfields at the Natale family parties :) :)

and i got some quality time with Riley.

she's getting big

chubby little legs

cute little face

she can smile a bit more now

and loves kisses :)

i think she's sizing me up

love you baby girl!!
