Happenings at the house

David and Dad S. switching the door around.
They had the 3 downstairs opening the wrong way and since we can't ever seem to get them there to work, they did it.
OSHA approved him cutting that! (Yeah right!)
Our Dining room chandelier.
Kitchen fan light.
Living room fan.
Hallway, laundry room lights.
Office fan light.
Our bedroom fan light.
2 spare bedrooms fan lights.
Trim going up inside the windows.
I've been staining & polying the door jams.

Dropped off the toilets and hot water heater.
Dropped off the flooring.
Painting doors.
I was SO TIRED!!!! I look thrilled here!
Final inspection! I couldn't see very good, so I used a flashlight to double check if I was getting it all.
Some of the doors I started to paint. Lying to dry.
Some of the tidbits of things we stained and polyed. The spindles and posts for the stairs.
Well, here is what's been going on. Staining, polying and more lighting fixtures going up,and painting doors. The flooring was dropped off and will be started tomorrow. The toilets and hot water heater were also dropped off and soon started soon. Cabinets will be coming Thursday. Friday we have an appointment with our lawyer, so hopefully we will be able to get what we want to go after them for. More pictures to come this week. With the flooring going down and trim going up it's going to be looking even better!!

Josh, Melody & Deonna visit!!

This is from last Sunday. Josh, Mel and Deonna came over to watch the Steelers game. Josh got back from Afganistan about 3 weeks now. He brought his laptop and showed us several videos and pictures from the war over there. I always had alot of honor and respect for our soldiers, but I have even more now. I was horrified at some of what he showed us. It's no wonder they come back and have some problems. Without them though I know that stuff would more than likely be here in the States. I am Thankful for what they do, and what they sacrifice. It was some hard, crazy things they saw while they were over there, and we're glad they are all back safe and sound. Again, Thank you to all our soldiers!!!!
Mel had also come over with Deonna. She was a preemie when she was born. She was born Sept. 12, and was due Nov. 24th!! She's 3 months old already!! She was 3lbs then and now she's almost 8lbs.!! She's really cute and cuddly!! She moans and groans alot, not sure why. I told Mel that's the Mexican in her!! She also stretches and moves alot, so I guess that means she's growing! But she's cute. It's weird having Mel come over and she has a kid! She's really grown up alot, and she's a good, loving Mother. It comes 2nd nature to her it seems. It was really nice to see them and catch up!!
Me holding Deonna.
She really stretches and moves alot!!
So cute! I got her that outfit!!
This is a good picture!!
Mel, Me & Deonna and Josh.
The pacifier is as big as she is!!
Mel made David hold her, he didn't want to because she is so little, but he was fine!!
He moved her around to talk to her!
Enough pictures already!!
Watching videos from war in Afganistan.

Josh telling us stories.
