Kids? What kids?!

Tonight is a bit quiet as everyone is gone (except Toby!) Tom is in California this week, Connor and Cole are still on their whirl-wind tour in Illinois, and Josh is at teens tonight. The house is NEVER this quiet! So, I snuck a few sacred minutes and scrapbooked a page. Now, to find the time to go and get a hard copy of the page....doubtful!

An old soul!

I've been called many things, but one term I would agree with, is that I am an old soul. And that has been the best thing about building this house. I have tried to incorporate pieces of the past into new construction. The ceiling in the master bedroom was put up today. It is pressed tin from an old building in New Braunfels, where my paternal family's roots are from. I can't wait to see all of the old incorporated with the new! Although many people would walk in, look up, and see rust on the ceiling...I walk in and see perfection! I love it!

Monkey See, Monkey Do!!!!

A few days ago, I finally took the plunge and bought my birthday gift...a new laptop! We have been looking for a while and I found one that fit the bill so I bought it. As most of you that are around Toby know, he loves to pretend. He will spend HOURS wrestling with 'fake' people (as he calls them), and playing dress-up in some form or fashion. I found him today on the couch with his "laptop" and cell phone. I guess I rank as high as the WWE wrestlers he imitates, because now he's imitating me!

Tile and Cabinets, and lights....oh my!!!

We have been busy, busy, busy over the past week. Well, WE haven't been busy, but the workers have been! Rock has been put on the inside (they are still working on the fireplace), the bathrooms have been tiled, electricity got turned on yesterday and cabinets were delivered and semi-put in....all in a week! whew....The only problem is...only half of us are here to enjoy it! Connor and Cole are in IL having a blast with grandparents, aunts, uncles, and of course cousins! Hope y'all are having a good time! Wish you were here to see all the changes to our house! :)
