Tease

On Friday Gavin had his 2 ½ year old pictures taken. They turned out very nice! They are not our usual picture setting, but we love it like that! My good friend, Shawna, is starting her own photography business and took these pictures of Gavin. They are very candid, and exactly what we were looking for! She followed Gavin around the park for about an hour and got some superb pictures! Not all of the pictures are ready yet, but I will sneak and show you one of my favorites; This may be teasing, but you will just have to wait and see the rest of them later!

A great Thursday evening!

We had a great night tonight! After dinner David and Gavin went outside and played baseball until Gavin's bedtime. This is exactly the kind of stuff David has been waiting to do with Gavin ever since he has been born and now they can do it much more freely! They had so much fun! Needless to say...we are LOVING our new home more and more each day!

Rainy Day

It is a rainy day today and I love it! This means we don't have to water the grass or the garden tonight! That's right...David and I put our garden in last Saturday! We planted Tomatoes (Better Boy and Beef Steak), Cherry tomatoes, Banana peppers, cucumbers, spaghetti squash, watermelon and cantaloupe. Hopefully we will have success in everything we planted this year, but you never know. This is the first time we will have a garden and you learn as you go through trial and error so we are crossing our fingers that we have success! The grass is slowly starting to come up, which is a huge shocker to me! I hopestly didn't even think we would have to mow our lawn this year, looks like I am way wrong!

Yesterday at work David made me some shelves for the pantry (a.k.a - coat closet). Right next to the kitchen there was this akward coat closet that we turned into a pantry. It definitely works out better for us as a pantry rather then a coat closet!

New House

We did it! We are all moved into our new home, it is perfect for us and we absolutely adore it!

Wednesday was the start of our move. David and Mike moved a ton into the Garage of the house. Thursday my mom and dad came to help move along with Dad VV, and Mike. We got everything into the garage of the new house. We had to be fully moved out of the condo by Thursday night. Friday morning came (the day we thought would never come) and David and I went to close on the condo and then the new house!! It was very exciting and emotional at the same time!

After that we started to move things into the house!! We got almost everything that was in the garage moved into the house in about 4 hours! Mom and Dad VV, and Mom and Dad Hack helped us out SO MUCH! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! After most of the moving was done, my mom and dad took Gavid for the weekend to the cabin! We missed him so much but we got so much done while he was gone, and he had a blast!

Sunday we had Jen and Mark's wedding in Chicago! It was very nice! Great to see family, chit chat and relax!
Today (Memorial Day) Matt and Ashley brought Gavin back to Madison and too see the house! We had our first real dinner tonight, it was delicious!

Here are a few pictures of the new house! We are pretty much unpacked with everything! No paint yet and nothing on the walls, but in time we will get those things done. We also have nothing for the living room yet. Right now it is collecting all the home decor for the house! We have no idea when we will get furniture for that room either. We know what we want but we just haven't found it yet!

(Here are a few pictures of our new backyard. No grass yet :( )

We have not heard any news on the biopsy yet. I am assuming we will hear by the end of the day today!

House Update - They got the driveway and stoop poured on Tuesday! It looks very nice. The front door is even in and it looks great! We are having the final walk through this Monday. We are hoping to start moving stuff over to the house sooner then the closing date on Friday, we just don't know when they will let us do that. The inspector still has to go to the house. I am not sure on that day yet, but I am assuming everything will go smoothly with that. At least it better :)

This weekend is going to be busy! Tomorrow (Saturday) I will be dress shopping with Jen for the wedding! My sister will be here in Madison this weekend to help out too. I hope to get the majority of everything packed up! Whether that will happen or not I have no clue, but I can hope!

Have a great Weekend!
