Homegoods

I kept seeing commercials on HGTV for the store Homegoods. I had never been there before so yesterday I decided we would venture to Wilmington and see what we could find. I was pleasantly suprised. They had nice products and good prices. I picked up some artwork for the new house and a time out chair for Kennedy. I had been trying to decide where our time out place would be (I have been using her crib) and when I saw that it was perfect. Now, I just need to get her to understand that she has to stay there when she is in trouble!

Trophy

Kennedy received her first Trophy this weekend at gymnastics. The kids were so cute when they went up after their names were called to get the trophies. Kennedy didn't get to admire her trophy for too long... it is already packed away in a box. I had it out just long enough to take some pictures of her with it.
My packing is really coming along now. It is starting to hit me that I will be moving out of here in less than two weeks. I feel like it has come up so fast! Next week I will probably be running around here like a chicken with my head cut off. The nice thing about the move being right around the corner also means some extended time in Toledo and San Diego. I am really excited to see the Whitsitts, it has been far too long. After our successful drive to and from Toledo last week, I will definitely be using the portable DVD player on the flight, that seemed to save the day on those 13 hour drives.

Progress on the house.

I went to the house yesterday to take photos. It is really coming along!! The driveway is done, and painting has been started inside the house. All of the exterior is now finished, excluding sod and shrubs. Some of the doors are up too!! Its amazing how these little things feel like such progress. Won't be much longer now...

Visiting the Horse Stables

It has been about a week since I posted anything on the blog. I have been out of town visiting my parents due to my grandfathers passing. In light of the reason for going home, I have still tried to make it a fun trip for Kennedy and I. This morning we visited a horse stable owned by a friend of my Fathers. Kennedy loves horses so we thought she might enjoy seeing them up close, and she did. They also had kittens that were quite young so she enjoyed watching them run all over the stables. Here are a few new photos that I have taken this week. I will probably post more in a separate posting as well.

Siding is up!!

The siding and sheet rock are now up! Well... I should say the siding is almost all up. They were still working on it when I drove by this afternoon. Hopefully it will be done today. Here are a few photos of the progress. The siding is a greenish gray color, however in these photos it looks mostly gray.
