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!



Home Sweet Home

It’s official!! We closed on our new house in Nashua!!!  We’ll be very busy over the next few weeks painting and moving in.  We can’t wait to actually LIVE In this beautiful home.  It didn’t take long for a couple of the neighbors to stop in and size us up…and from what we hear, we’re going to LOVE the neighborhood.  Adam is particularly excited about the house directly across from ours…When he puts his flag out, he’s brewing beer and has the men over for some time in his “man town garage” ha ha ha.  I think we’re going to LOVE living in the city!

   

The Family Room is one of our favorite rooms in the house.  Here are a couple of views of this fantastic space!!

    

Kitchen

Sitting Room

Dining Room

Sun Room - This will be the boys' play room for a few years.  When they've outgrown it and only want to spend time in their own rooms, we will reclaim this space as a beautiful sun room that WE can enjoy :)

AJ’s and Robert’s rooms are going to need a wee bit of primer to cover up these BOLD colors!

         

    

Master Bedroom

Upstairs Bathroom - This is our biggest renovation project.  We will be gutting this bathroom and giving it a bit of a face-lift.  Stay tuned for the progress on this room!!

We LOVE our back yard.  It’s completely fenced in and both AJ and the dogs LOVE to explore.  AJ is particularly enamored with his own “house” in the back yard.  We were very excited to see that the previous owner left the swing set and playhouse.

         

         

The "King" surveys his land!

Harley explores her new back yard!

Looking forward to all that this house has to offer...many happy memories in the making.
