Success





Well, I had a post all written out, but blogger is being extremely unaccommodating tonight (well, that and the fact that I am totally pooped and probably hit the wrong button inadvertently). But here are some pics of the success we had while my mom and sister were here over the Labor Day weekend. We were able to get all three upstairs bedrooms done, including the master bath (which had been a complete eyesore before). I am incredibly grateful for
all the help (they both worked so hard!), I can honestly say this house now feels like home πŸ™‚

    Well, it IS amazing. Naturally – since they weren’t any details (dang, blogger!) I have to ask about the bathroom cupboards – did you paint them? We have some ugly cabinets that the hubs says we CAN’T replace. Hmmf. Apparently they are “just fine” – but I love the color of your bathroom ones!!

    Everything looks beautiful!!! I have been amazed that you moved and are getting a new house ready to live in with all your little ones. I only had one 3 year old- I actually made her a play area first and she was fine. Your rooms look so wonderful- like you have been there forever! Did you get the Chinese prints while in China or are they from here? I would love to hang something like that in EK’s room. Hope you have a blessed day!

    The house looks FABULOUS!!! It is really gorgeous. I am glad you had the help of your Mom and sister. Sheperd’s feet look great too. The change is remarkable. You are such a great Mom for seeking exactly the right treatment for him and doing everything you had to do to make that happen…such Mother love:)

    You weren’t kidding around, Were you? Looks Fabulous!!! Girl, you have got to be toast! praying for a “slow” week so that you can recuperate and fuel up to do it all over again. Though given what’s going around your house right now, that doesn’t exactly start you off on the right foot.;) At least you know you have company dealing with a bit of the same. Good times!

    Glad you are starting to feel like you are home!
