Work, Work, and more Work!

So after 4 weeks of working on the house we are nowhere near ready to move in. Our new bathroom needs alot more work, but thanks to Uncle Brian it is functional and has walls. The only two rooms that are even close to being done are Brie's and the living room. We continue to find places where some of the 68 cats that were the previous owners of our house left us presents. There is a corner of the living room that needs to be completely ripped out and the windows replaced and the kitchen cabinets need to be replaced, but it will all get done with time. We want to thank everyone who has helped us get so much done already. Three rooms have been completely gutted, the irises moved, and alot of painting is already done. We could not have done it without the help of friends and family.

Brie is very happy at the new house. She eats alot better and loves to run around in the yard. She even talks more there. Last night she said "stuck" when we had her trapped in her playyard so we could eat dinner without chasing her around the yard. She seems to be mocking more of our speech as well and babbles constantly while playing.

Today we also had a new visitor in our house. Marcus was sweeping the attic this afternoon in preparation for the movers later this week. He must have left the attic door open and a bat flew down into Brie's bedroom. Imagine my surprise when I went in to put some boxes in her room and saw something black hanging on the wall. Luckily Brie was not with me and was taking a nap in our room.

Bear with us the next few weeks, with the move starting tomorrow and our internet access not being ready at the new house we may not be able to update for a little while. I also tried to add some new pictures tonight, but it seems there is something wrong with the blogger server. As soon as we are settled we will add some new pics.
