Guess What?

Guess WHAT??

Our Granville house is finished!  Actually, Dan finished it in July...

 

 

 

 

I made Dan pose with the for sale sign...

 

 

It was listed in July, we had an offer in 5 days, we accepted it, and just found out that the buyers were approved for their loan.  So it's almost officially sold.  The sale is pending. 

We're very excited.  It was a long hard road for Dan because it seemed like each time he started a "small" project, it ended up being much more extensive than we'd originally thought it would be. 

 

This is the upstairs bathroom.

 

The smallest bedroom.

 

The bedroom that used to have stickers all over the walls...

 

The biggest bedroom...originally brown walls.

 

And the bedroom that used to have Orange, Pink and purple stripes painted on the walls.

 

Upstairs hallway

 

This is the addition entertainment/family room with the bar.

 

Mudroom/new laundry room Dan made

 

Downstairs bathroom sans lovetub.  With an ACTUAL shower/tub instead.  :)

 

The kitchen

 

Formal dining room.

 

Front living room.

 

Garage and patio area

Of course, there are more posts than that, but those are the first few. 

We're very happy to be finished with this house.  It's now a beautifully restored Victorian home, and I'm so proud of my husband for seeing it through and doing it the right way. 

I can say again, it's a "Fixer upper no more!"

 

Stay tuned for more life updates!

 

 

Family Photos on the Lake

Hello friends!  I am very behind on posting on my blog (what else is knew, right??)...so I am finally posting these family photos we had taken back in JUNE.  Yes, June.  So in the 2 1/2 months that have gone by, our children have grown a lot, and these are outdated.  But hey, I figured I would share them anyway.   

 

We went to Lake George to take these.  The battlefield there was a nice place and of course, it was nice to get the lake in the background in some photos.

 

 

 

As always, Gwendolyn was being a little ham.  She did great with the candid pictures.  Most of the posed ones though, she struggled with.  :)

 

Lucinda and Dan

 

It was during my mother-in-law's visit that we had these taken.  I thought it would be nice to get a few shots of Gwen and Lucie with their mimi.

 

 

It didn't take Gwen long to realize in this pose that she could have a little fun with Dan's hair!

 

 

Oh, and then mine!

 

 

 

It was a fun time and we got several good memories to keep from it.  Hope you all are doing well!  I'm going to try to post again tomorrow.  The best time to get on my laptop is when both children are napping...which is very rare!  Unless it's nighttime...and let's be honest...when both children are in bed, I'm also more than ready to fall asleep myself.

 

So hopefully, you'll see another post tomorrow...or whenever I have both children napping and all my other duties finished.
