Painting & Prep

Well, the last few week were filled with last minute preparations for the big move! :o) Praise the Lord for friends and family who came along to help!

The first room to get paint was the kitchen since it had to be painted before cabinets were installed . . . Thanks Dan, Debbie, Heather, and Adam!

Another green kitchen! :o)

Bryan and Janie graciously extended their "vacation" for a week after Janie's brother graduated to help us with kitchen cabinets and more painting! (They also joined us for our week of celebrations.) :o)

The kids have been well-trained to cover their ear for loud noises. :o) It's pretty funny to watch them going around with hands over ears while Chris or Bryan are using power tools. :o)

Yeah for cabinets! :o) (We'll be using plywood and shelving for counters till the budget recuperates.) :o)

More painting! It was much more enjoyable painting the living room than the bedrooms since the bedroom color was so light you could hardly see it going on the wall! :o)

And sadly unrepresented in photos, my mom came the week right before the move and helped scrape windows, paint trim, pack, read to grandchildren . . . :o)

Thanks everybody!
