Progress Progress Progress…

Adam and I (mostly Adam) have been very busy unpacking and updating the house to make it our own.  Our newest incubating munchkin has forced me to rest more often than I would like, so Adam has had to take the reigns and tackle the projects without me.  (Don’t worry…I didn’t just leave him to his own demise…I made an excellent supervisor!)
*Special thanks to my dad for helping Adam paint the ceiling.  It looks AMAZING!!!
Check out some of our progress downstairs on the main floor!

Adam and Dad tackle the "dirty" tan ceiling.

Adam is smiling because the ceiling is DONE!  A nice bright white!

 

The first wall of the Family Room is painted!  A nice crisp "cloth" color.  See ya "Ecru"!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Sitting Room/Office - Still needs paint and window treatments...but the furniture is placed!

August Fun!

WOWZA this is one HOT summer…for me at least anyway.  Being pregnant in this heat hasn’t always been a picnic.  I’ve managed to spend most of my time INSIDE with the AC to keep comfy.  But we’ve had a few breaks in the temps that made it bearable to be outside playing.  AJ is taking full advantage of the fenced in yard and all of HIS space!

 

    

     

    

 

     

       

    

Home is where the heart is...

We had our first family celebration at the new house this week!  While Michael, Michelle, Emma, and Elyssa were in New Hampshire for vacation, Adam and I were very excited to have the Desrosiers, Desrosiers, and DuVarneys over to the house for some food and family time.  AJ was thrilled to show everyone HIS house!!  I gotta say...it was awesome having everyone in one place :)



Adam "pracices" holding another little one!  Elyssa is just so darned CUTE!!

Michelle claims she is her grandmother reincarncated :)  (She must have been one heck of a party animal!)

Cousins!

The Dynamic Duo!



Grammy and Pepere with all their current "beans"!  (I love how happy their grandchildren make them!)

Happy Birthday, Dad!  And Happy Anniversary Mom & Dad!!




If this pair doesn't spell trouble, I don't know WHAT does ;)



The next family gathering....Pouliot, Pouliot, Pouliot, Pouliot/Champagne!!!  Bring it on!!

Summer Summer...Havin' a Blast...

It's been a few weeks since we moved into our new digs.  (I'm saving pictures of the progress on the house a little while longer until we get more of the main living space painted and unpacked...patience patience!)  During these last few weeks, we've never been more sure that we made the right decision to move to the convenience of the city.  Our commutes are shorter, we met some friendly neighbors, and above all...AJ LOVES HIS NEW HOUSE!!!! (particularly the back yard).

AJ and the dogs love the freedom that the fenced yard gives them (ironic, I know...fences keep you restricted....yet it's some how liberating!).  These days have been hot, hot, hot and there's no better way to beat the heat than a little pool-side fun!  (Thank you, Grammy for donating your kiddy pool!  AJ is having a blast with it.)

Daddy sets up the pool while AJ dips his tootsies.  Harley looks on for an opportunity to steal some fun herself!

Getting used to the water....

Who's that drinking out of my pool!?!?!

Harley sneaks a gulp here and there next.

That's all for now!  More pictures of the house and how we are spending our summer as soon as the dust settles!
