So Will turned 3 months old today!! I can't believe it! We have been so busy around here and yet having so much fun, that time has just flown by!! And I know that I have been really bad about keeping my blog updated lately and I really want to apologize to my 5 faithful blog followers out there (you know who you are!). So, this is a quick glimpse into what our family has been up to for the past 3 months...
P.S. To the five f.b.f., (and all of you other occasional followers) I have now updated my blog, so check out all the new old posts--I think there are 9 new ones in total! and some even date way back to February...
So after being crazy enough--or maybe it was stupidity?!--we decided last minute (um...I was one month away from giving birth to our 3rd child--you don't get any more last minute than that!!) to add a fourth bedroom to our house. Let's just say--definitely NOT something I would wish upon my worst enemy!! The thing about construction, is that even a small project (like adding an additional bedroom to your house--HAHA!! Did we really think it would be small?!) escalates into a HUGE project. So after 3 weeks, the construction crew left so that we could have our beautiful baby boy and then 2 weeks later, they were back ripping up our floors and laying down new ones. YIKES!!
So this first picture represents the way our house looked for about a month...construction messes everywhere you looked. A new floor/ceiling had to be built for the 4th bedroom, along with all that that contains (lighting, walls, etc...). We also put ceiling fans in our bedrooms and family room, added a drop down ladder for our attic, put in new surround sound speakers, new baseboards in every room, new paint in every room, new closet shelving for the bedrooms, and then the new floors in all rooms minus baths. Fun times!! And let's not mention the work we have done outside in the yard...or the 20 foot dumpster that sat in our driveway for 10 days....
You can't find ANYTHING when every room in your house looks like this!!!
But now the construction is done and we absolutely LOVE the new additions!! (I'll add new pics of our house later...) So the reason for not updating more often, (besides having a new baby, and having our house under construction you ask??) is mostly because...
~We have been to Utah twice (refer back to my new posts in May...)
~Maddy is now potty trained!! Yeah--only one in diapers now!!
~Ellie graduated preschool in June
And now that it is finally summertime, we can finally enjoy a little deserved R & R, like this....
Or this...
LOTS of cuddling with Will
And we get to stay in our pj's all morning... even if we don't want to (Get with the program Will!!)
We do occasionally get dressed (in our swimsuits) and head here about twice a week....
And here...
And about five days a week you can find us doing this....
And if we are not at those places or the park, or at a friends playing, or trying out some new museum, you will find us just hang out with this little stud all day!!

AHHHH!! We love the lazy, crazy days of summer!!
