FINALLY........

A long wait, I know, but life is busy with the kids and full time jobs!! We also wanted to get some pictures on the walls before the great reveal!! We still need some window coverings, so imagine red curtains in the dining room and some blinds on the living room window. We are also waiting for a photo collage from Kidsphoto, so that will be on the wall in the front entry. Nonetheless....here is our new house.....
Front view


From the the top of the hill behind us, we are the first house in the picture, to the left of us will all be green space! And one more neighbour on the right. We have a pie shaped lot, so it's a bit of an odd shape. Lots of privacy for the hot tub (which is being delivered next week)!!


Front entryway
Looking down into the den from the stairs.

Looking back at the front entryway from the living room.


Great room from the kitchen.


Dining Room.

Kitchen. We are missing two cabinet doors (they are on back order), in case you are wondering if it is supposed to be like that.
You will have to wait for pics of the upstairs for now....

Sienna's 1st Birthday

Sienna's 1st Birthday was Saturday June 6. Believe it or not...it snowed! But it was still a great day. Sienna had lots of fun and definitely enjoyed opening cards and eating cake!!


The snow on our front lawn...not ideal for a summer birthday party....

The Simple Things in Life...

Toddlers can be entertained with the simplest things and have a blast....oh and so can grown men......!!!
Ralph and Kara came over for dinner Wednesday night and Ralph decided to become "Box Man" He took some empty boxes and made 'costumes', the kids had fun, as did the guys!
Ralph working his magic...

Sienna is not so sure about Uncle Ralph's ideas....

Sienna on the move....

Sienna may have entirely skipped the crawling stage (she is bum scooter) but she has shown a lot of interest in standing and walking in the last few weeks and has now started walking on her own with her little walker. She loves the freedom and stops at any interesting points...to touch the wall or wave at something (like the tv)....

Brother and Sister...always together...

Brody and Sienna love to be together...Sienna is always laughing at Brody's sillyness and Brody is constantly acting silly to make her laugh. They play together really well...eventhough sometimes Brody may be a little bossy or test the limits and make her cry...he generally loves to make her smile! And seeing them together always makes me smile...


Brody likes to build a fort with Sienna's play-mat!

I love this one...they both think the other looks silly without knowing they both have bubbles on their heads...mommy gets the last laugh...so cute!

A special treat...Brody's ginormous chocolate chip cookie and Sienna's mum-mum( since she kept trying to steal Brody's cookie), hanging out in jammies before bed.

Finally...some pics of the progression of our new house in Sherwood....

Our dirt!! This is taken from the back of our lot looking out.


Our hole, with footings!


Foundation poured!


With the first level framed it was really starting to take shape...

Now it is fully framed (this was taken on Friday) YAY!!!
We can actually see a house...it has been a long time coming.....
It will still be a few months before it's done, but it is nice to see some progress!
Now we need to sell our house....keep your fingers crossed for us!!
Oh, and if you know someone looking, send them our way..... :)
