It's been a while since I have had a breakfast ready for people to try, and the main reason for this is that Cooper Daniel, our second son was born on December 7, 2011. He is beautiful! He was 7 lbs 11 ozs when he was born, but he is already well over 8lbs. So far he loves to eat!! My time has been taken up with him and trying to keep up with Clayton our almost 2 year old son. Clayton is a very good big brother, he loves Cooper and takes good care of him, but it it busy. Clayton isn't exactly gentle. He loves to play and roughhouse! Today both boys are actually sleeping at the same time and I have been able to set up and post this blog!
WEDNESDAY JANUARY 4, BAKED YUMMINESS!! 8am
The plan for the next breakfast will be for Wednesday January 4th! I am thinking that I will make some baked goods, muffins, scones, that sort of thing. And then there will be yogurt, granola and fresh fruit! If you would like to join us please let me know by Monday.
THE BED AND BREAKFAST
The addition is coming along really well. We have passed the framing, plumbing, and electrical inspections!!! it was a bit of a challenge getting through all of the inspections. There were sveral little things that we needed to have done that we didn't think we would have to do, so the building was delayed for a couple of weeks. But they are now done and everything can keep moving. Having those inspections done has been great, because it means that the insulation can go in. So right now Nathan, the owner of Stenfert Construction, who is building the addition for us, is working on getting all of the insulation and vapor barrier up. I think that he is really excited about this step because that means that he will stay much warmer while he is working! Getting the insulation in also means that we are closer to the drywall, and the paint and then getting in all of the finishing touches! I am excited about the finishing touches. I have some really great ideas as to how everything should look so I am really looking forward to being able to put it all together. We have been collecting furnishings and decorations for a while now. Ben would tell you that we have hundreds of pillows(we don't...)!! And we are slowly running out of storage space for these things. It will be really neat to see everything in its' spot. The plan is to have the addition all ready to go by the end of January!
The other really exciting thing that has happened is that we have the fireplaces in! Each room has a fireplace, which will also have a TV on top of it. The fireplace will add coziness and warmth to both of roms. What could be better than sitting in bed with a book, and the fireplace on making everything warm and homey? When I saw this step it made everything very real! It made each of the rooms look and feel like a real room. It added a touch of coziness and made me want to put the beds in and stay the night!
This is the before of where the fireplace will be..
And here is the after with the fireplace put into place.
By the end of this week we should have a good chunk of the drywall in place,, so look back soon for pictures!! And don't forget to let me know if you want to come for breakfast on Wednesday morning!
Happy New Year!
