Sunday Afternoon

Patrick hit a big milestone today, we finally turned his car seat around. The pediatrician had said we could keep him rear facing up until he hits the max on his carseat (33 pounds), but it has been so darn hot lately that I was worried about the A/C reaching him. Patrick seemed to really enjoy being right in the middle of the action!

We took a walk today and Patrick enjoyed taking in nature. He even found a pile of leaves to play in.

I took a few pictures of the house this weekend. It's finally starting to look almost done. This is the new foyer. We were able to reuse our old front door and sidelights. I still need to find a light fixture for the ceiling.

This is the dining room. The built-in buffet has been put in but is covered for protection. It will have a cream colored marble top.

The room I'm most excited about is the kitchen. The cabinets are being installed this week. The oven will be to the left of the door, the pantry and refrigerator on the right.

And the bathroom... you will notice the wallboard has been torn out already. Apparently when the wallboard screws were going in they hit one of the pipes creating a leak. Oops. The vanity has also been installed, it will have the same marble countertop as the buffet.

We spent some time this weekend looking at paint swatches, a LOT of paint swatches. Anyone have any color suggestions for us? :)

Great Blog and what a beautiful little boy! I remember the day when we turned the car seat around for my oldest daughter Lesley. She was so happy and so proud! We decided to take a celebratory drive around the neighborhood and she promptly fell asleep!

Keep up the great work!
