Life has been busy lately.
We’re in the final weeks of building our new house. Everything’s coming along nicely, and we definitely wouldn’t be as close to finished as we are without the help of Baker’s parents. They are constantly painting, building, and cleaning up over there.
These pictures are a week old. The floors are in every room except the office. Our exterior doors are being professionally painted at a local body shop and should be put back on Monday. I can’t wait to see how they turned out. We still need trim and interior doors to be hung, and that should happen on Wednesday. We have a back deck but no downstairs patio yet. That should happen this week or next. Our cabinets are almost finished being installed and the granite man will come measure this week. We’re still waiting on gas to be hooked up, and we don’t have toilets or faucets installed yet, but both of those things are going to happen this week or next. We’re looking at a move in date around October 12th. I guess we might be able to move in earlier, but we’re actually going to Florida on the 4th through the 11th.
Bowen and I have been spending lots of time walking and visiting the park. The temperature has been a little cooler the past few days, and we’ve been taking advantage. He loves to watch the big kids play basketball.
I found the little critter below on the steps yesterday.
I can’t believe how many of these things I’ve seen in the past week. I’ve always thought these lizard-like creatures lived in more tropical climates. I thought Kentucky was the midwest.
That smile on his face is deceiving. Bowen has been teething, which is no fun at all. I didn’t think there were anymore teeth he could get, but I guess there was one more 2 year molar. This has made for some seriously sleepless nights – I’m talking less than 4 hours three nights in a row.
Enter the iPad. I LOVE that thing. Bowen has been playing on it in the wee hours of the morning, which lets me sleep a little more. He’s been watching Yo Gabba Gabba on the iPad. I know too much screen time is not a good thing, but at 3:00 am when I am exhausted and he is inconsolable, I welcome videos with open arms.
He’s become quite obsessed with the music and dancing. So yesterday while we were running a few errands getting ready for Florida, we saw a beanie baby of Muno. We had to purchase it, and Bowen hasn’t put it down since.
And since it’s Sunday – Who Dey!
