Back in Action

Aaaaaaand, we're back to working on the house. Actually, I should say that Brian is back working on the house. He is no longer bound by the knee brace...he was like a giddy kid in a candy shop the day he was able to start working on our house again. Here are a few of the projects that have been going on lately...


Here's Brian's dad, Brendon, helping out with the stucco on the outside of the sunroom. I can't even begin to tell you how helpful Brian's parents have been! Brendon has done everything from painting and plumbing to fixing our chimney...he is a man of all trades. And of course there is Pat, Brian's mom, who I could not have done without! I can't even count the number of times she has cleaned, picked up trash, and organized. They are amazing; I've been blessed with wonderful in-laws!


Brian and Josh working on the drywall on the inside of the little sunroom.


My dad and Brian putting up the crown moulding around the beams in the living room...it's looking amazing! I'm so thankful that my dad was able to help out this week. He is a trim master!




Oh yes, and that's me. Like I said, Brian is the one who has been working on the house. I basically didn't leave the couch all week. And the reason that I have this lovely picture is because Brian thinks it's funny to take pictures of me looking my best :-) Isn't that sweet?


Well that's all for now. Cheers to the house progress being back in action...one day at a time.

Wow Emily, it looks great! How awesome to have some many hands to help with your home. And, I have to admit, I LOLed at the picture of you. Sorry! I know you were feeling horrible and everything, but it was a funny picture none-the-less. :)

Haha, Krista, I actually thought of you when I put that picture up because I knew you would laugh :-) I did it for amusement.

the picture of you is funny, cute and sad all at once. I think you're brave for posting it. I hate posting bad pix of myself :)

Can't wait to see the finished product!
