Getting along...

So, its been awhile..again!

We found out we're having a boy! He's a little smaller than burklee was at this point, but he's healthy and doing great! I had a dr. appt this morning and we're going with a c-section repeat. He wanted me to try a VBAC but after discussing all the risks with him, we decided to keep it "safer" and do the repeat...so we're looking at Oct 4th! Burklee is adapting well. We've switched room recently here in concordia and the boys now have the larger room. Both beds are in there and burklee knows the baby will be sleeping there too!

We've slowly been redoing our rental we're living in right now. We're gutting almost everything a little at a time. We've started with the bathroom which was supposed to be a quick replacement of the bathtub, vanity, and toilet has now turned into taking everything out including the sheetrock. We're redoing the layout to have a little extra room, putting everything new back in from floor to celling which will put us into the kitchen next. We're stumped on what to do with it but I do know I want all white kitchen cabinets with an anitiqued island. We've already done the island which is cute I must say! I made curtains for it to have extra storage underneath and the back is chalkboard for burklee. The layout of the kitchen is so akward so we'll be doing a little more construction to it as well. The boys' room got a fresh coat of paint last week to match their theme of "vintage Jack and Jill"...and hopefully around Christmas we will get rid of the god awful blue shag carpet. Its driving me nuts! I want my all wood flooring back..its probably what I miss most about our house in Salina..yes, it was a little more noisy with the dogs and burklee but it kept the house so much cooler and come on...it wasn't blue shag carpet! But enough about our house!

There's not much else to report...business is going good, getting a little slow but thats okay because so am I and I take my maternity leave here in 2 weeks. I'm taking off 4 weeks then starting back up with 2 back to back weddings!

We lost our great dane Kellie a couple months back right after we moved here. Allan found her in the pin just laying there so we burried her in our open lot. We wanted to bury her under her favorite willow tree but the tree was so old and the roots so thick, we got as close as we could. It was extremely hard at first but its getting easier. She was like my daughter since apparently I will be a mother of only boys! We've talked about getting another great dane but want to see how everything is going to play out with 2 children!

And here are a few more pictures!
