Oh loooook,, a pupppppyyy!!!

This is the newest addition to the family! Meet Chevy! No, not in my house unfortunatly, but my daughter's. I had to take Tela over to the island on Monday for a quick overnighter, and greeting us at the ferry was my daughter, with her jacket bulging and wiggling mysteriously. Low and behold, Chevy's little face appeared, ooohs and aaahs all around! Sooooo cute!

On the home front, we are still not done. The cabinets are FINALLY due to arrive next week, so the kitchen is getting ripped out on Thursday, then the painting, then the install. I won't have my countertops until the following Monday, so it will be an interesting weekend. As long as I have my coffee pot, I will be ok! I do have some pics still to download, and I will be taking pics as the reno's are underway, but I will wait and download them all in one post. We still have until the middle of April for the delivery of our fireplace/entertainment centre, so the big tv isn't even out of it's box yet. We are still using old ugly milk crates to put our little tv, oh ya, we are stylin'.. lol.

Hope everyone has a great weekend, I am hoping the rain lets up so I can start on my yard. I have some ideas, but need to get to a garden shop to see if they will work. We have certain spots that stay in full sun, and some stay in full shade, so I need to find out if the plants I have in mind will work in the areas I want them. I look forward to the challenge of getting it all together though, I love gardening, and this place is just the right size to not be to much, but just enough to keep me busy. They really didn't do much before, so that leaves me with a clean slate to start with, instead of having to work around existing layouts. Fun fun fun!!!!!

Almost there, the cupboards still bare!

Sooooooooo, the move has happened! We are 3/4 done, the upstairs is finished, 3 rooms and bathroom, the downstairs is still being tweeked (my sportsbar is almost done), and the main floor is still a disaster. We won't get the entertainment centre/fireplace until the end of the month, so we have yet to set up the big tv. Right now we have the kids tv on some milk crates, lol. Not pretty! The kitchen cabinets are also not due to arrive until the end of the month, so the kitchen is down to a bare minimum, only the neccesities are unpacked in there. I will be posting pics tomorrow, still have to download them, and I am soooooo exausted right now!
Also on arrival news, Tela is moving back on Friday, the beginning of spring break here. I am ready for her, the bedroom and kids playroom (the extra room upstairs) is all set, so that will be a load off my stress, but we still have boxes where I don't want them! From the time I get up to the time I go to bed it seems not stop organizing, reorganizing, and oh, wait, that looks better over there organizing! Maybe I should have stuck to my shadow box project instead of homeowning project, lmao! We christined our first night together (some people have night shifts to earn a living, hehe) with champange and hotdogs, and now (thankfully) he is downstairs 'tweeking' as the hotdogs gave him gas. I am outta here, but as I said, I will download some pics in the morning. Have a great evening!
