This is why I haven't posted!

Here are the kids finishing up breakfast in my bedroom.
And the dishes I washed in my bathroom sink because...

That is my sink hiding behind my stove and fridge. Totally impossible to reach!

The front room stacked full of furniture.


Ryan putting on the bonding primer.

Working hard.

Laying wood.

We have been living in a little bit of a "destruction" zone. Ryan and his dad, along with other family and friends, tore out all of the linoleum, carpet, and baseboards and laid all of the flooring in less than a week! I helped by keeping the kids out of the way while they worked their tails off. Then this weekend I puttied knot and nail holes and helped sand for hours and hours. It is really coming together and should be done in the next couple of days. As I'm sure anyone knows who has done remodeling, everything takes way longer than you think! It really hasn't been too bad though thanks to many friends and family feeding us, watching our kids, helping shuffle furniture, and letting us sleep over while the fumes fill our house. Thanks a million!!!

Hey Sarah. Looks like you guys are getting a lot done, and have been doing a lot of hard work! Keep up the good job, is all I can say! I admire you guys so much! Thanks for hanging out with me and my kids while we were visiting in Utah. We had a great time. I am living in chaos a bit right now as my house is all packed up ready to move to Layton! Talk to you soon!!!
