Sarah's 9th Birthday

We celebrated Sarah's 9th birthday over the 16th-17th of November (she officially turned 9 on the 20th).  We took Sarah, her sisters and friends to the waterpark in TRF on Friday.  A blast was had by all!  The next day, we had a family party complete with supper, cupcakes and presents!  Happy Birthday to our little Bear!

Stage 1 Remodeling Finished

Well, after a lot of work - we are finally finished with our addition.  Since July, se have:
-  Added on 14 feet to the end of the house
- replaced all of the windows
- resided the house
- put on a new front door and storm door
- spray painted all of the shutters
- bought new carpet, ceiling fans and furniture
- completed a new office
- installed a fireplace

This was the first stage of our remodeling.  The next step is to turn the old office space into a new walk-in mud/laundry room.  We will also be working on the kitchen (new cabinets, countertops and flooring).  I am hoping that by the end of the summer we will have everything completed!  Enjoy the pictures of what we have done:

 Our new french doors to the office and our fireplace
 A view from the entrance to the new living room
 Ou new couch - very comfortable!
 New siding, windows, front door and shutters.
The house wouldn't be complete without a
