Arch-itecture

This is IT!!! Or almost it! They have tried three times to get the angles in the arch to be correct. It has made me appreciate the importance of geometry in this whole process. It may look right from this angle but in all actuality it is still off and they will be tweeking it again tomorrow. But it is still amazing and I love how it turned out and how it made a small dark secluded kitchen so bright and open to the rest of the house. Good times ahead!

This is looking at the same wall 6 weeks ago. Can you believe the difference?

This the entry ceiling all repaired after three toilet leaks and all plumbing replaced.

Remember this nasty picture? I think that was after leak #2!


This past week we were able to have three of our precious grandbabies here for a couple of days while Jeff and Kristen went to Tyler to house hunt. We had an awesome time with them and miss them already. This is 4 year old Avery....having a craft time. That is a constant here at Nanas!

Twin #1...Ben. They played out in the alley for a long time. It's incredible how long a few rocks will entertain almost 2 year olds!

Twin #2...Sawyer! Or "Sassy" as we all call her!

This is "the END" of this post so I thought it was the appropriate place to put this picture. Ben and Sassy LOVE to run around without diapers and they have become very proficient at taking them off....so we resorted to using duct tape! Use #1262! You can see that the little fingers are already at work perfecting a pediatric Houdini act! Have a great week!
