Big Changes on the Horizon

Not only our family, BUT our house is in for some major upgrades and changes in the next month and we are extremely excited and anxious! We have decided to take the plunge, stay in our house, add on a family room off the back of the house and have the house sided! Oh, then a few months later we thought we would have a baby!

AHHH, are we crazy? No this is just our normal way of life. I think we thrive on the busyness and the chaos from time to time. Anyhow, in preparation for the addition, we sadly have to lose half of our deck in the process so Roland took the railings off and this is what it looks like currently.

The contractors are supposed to start this week, but we have had SO MUCH rain that it has delayed them in pouring the concrete for the footers. I am very hopeful that they start today. Once they get started, the footers have the set for one to two weeks and then they will come back and get right to work on our addition and siding. That is when the real excitement begins and I will be sure to take tons of pics to update you all!

In other news, the rain has put such a damper on any plans that we had for this week. So it has been pretty routine. We went to swim class, (it is not pretty trying to squeeze into my suit anymore!) and tonight we are headed to Pierrepont Manor to get Seth's pics taken. It has been two years since we last did it, so he is due and we can't wait to see the outcome.

I am also headed to Ithaca with my mom on Saturday to spend the day with my brother. Seth and Roland are going to stay home and have a guys day!

That's about it for now...
