Catching Up

Happy New Year! Can you believe it's 2009 already? Man, the older I get, the faster time flies! Just wanted to catch everyone up on what's happening here:

-My new nephew arrived Monday afternoon! That is the 4th grandson out of 4 grandbabies on the hubby's side....boys are about all there is! =)

-The bathroom is slowly coming around. I think they are planning on having the plumbing all done today, they need to take the toilet out to put down a layer of plywood for the new vinyl floor, & the rest of the drywalling will probably get done this weekend too. Those are the plans anyway, they've come up against something unplanned every step of the way so far! But hey, I know! =) Here are some pics of the progress:

As of Saturday night

What the room beside our bedroom & bathroom looks like. YIKES!

The old vinyl is up & now the floor is ready for plywood & new vinyl.

Hubby & Papa's helpers. They are wearing boots to protect their feet from stepping on nails. Their idea not ours, & isn't it so cute?!

The "other side".

What it looks like right this minute.

It's getting SO close!

-For those of you who don't know, I am a scrapbooker, big time. Well, I used to be anyway. I still LOVE it but I've hit a slump, a big slump, like over a year slump. So I'm contemplating doing a 365 album. You take a picture every day for a year & scrapbook it. I'd love to get better @ photography & maybe I will be motivated to get out of this slump! I'd love to get my hands on some "rocking" patterned paper!

-And I am working on a new look for my blog. I love to be creative & unique & this pre-fab blog layout isn't quite cutting it. Hopefully I will have something soon!
