Busy, Busy, Busy, Busy
There just doe n’t seem to be enough hours in the day. We have all been very busy lately. Since we haven’t posted for ahwhile, here are a few of the highlights from the past month.
We went to Remlinger farms with Jessica, Nathan, Ryan, Mom, and Aunt Jean. Everyone had a great time! I’ve posted a couple pictures from the event below. Emma always love going there. They’ve done a great job of creating a magical place for kids there!
A few weeks ago we took the train down to Portland to visit friends. It was the first time that we’ve all gone on the train together and it was a lot of fun. We were all surprised at how fast we got there! We’ll definitely do that again!
Emma has been sick over the last week. She had a very high fever (103.8). We got her to the doctor quickly and they diagnosed an ear infection. She is on antibiotics for 10 days to clear that up. It’s really kind of amazing how happy she can be when she’s sick. She definitely didn’t get that trait from her dad!
Last weekend, Polly and Vic came to town to visit and we had an early Thanksgiving at our house. Sarah, Dan, Alex and Sydney also came over and we had a “Brown” thanksgiving. Lots of food and it was all delicious. Polly and Vic headed back to New Orleans a couple days later. They will be going to England in early December to spend time with the relatives there. Polly will go earlier and Vic will meet her there for a couple weeks in December.
We have been working on the cabin. I can’t wait until we can’t say that anymore. The sheetrock was completed and the mud/tape/texture was just completed last week. We spent this weekend priming and painting. Katie and I spent all day on Saturday painting while Emma played with Grandma at the other cabin. We were able to prime the entire interior, paint the ceiling white once the primer dried, and today we painted the bathroom and kitchen. There is still a little more painting to be done in both rooms but that will go quick. We also wired in all the smoke alarms and installed all the trim for the can lights. The ceiling is complete!!!
Next week we plan on going up to complete all the painting and will also work on installing outlets and light switches. That should go relatively quickly.
On the way back from the cabin today we stopped at Lowes and looked around. By the time we had left, we had purchased all the appliances for the kitchen, a granite countertop for the bathroom and a few other miscellaneous items. I also can’t wait until we are done spending money. It’s amazing how expensive everything is!
Well, my fingers are getting sore so I think it’s time to stop typing. Below are a few pictures from our month of October/early November:
