Chimney, Paint, and Tile

We added a copper top to the chimney.












They have tiled the kitchen, laundry room, mudroom, and hallway coming from the garage. Some of the tile is covered by cardboard to keep dirt from tracking in. They also painted the wall and beaded paneling. The kitchen is not painted yet, but I'll post those pictures once it is.














The upstairs bedrooms (kids' rooms) are both painted the same color (Boring Beige) since we don't know what colors they'll be. Guess what color the carpet will be?

Everyone keeps asking me to post pictures of "the bump". Well, here it is. I am 19 weeks. I'll be 20 weeks on Christmas Day- halfway there!

We hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas!! We feel so blessed this year.

Sorry I haven't posted picture in awhile! There is not a WHOLE lot to share. The crew has been putting crown molding and baseboards up. That does not make for the most interesting pictures, but it certainly makes our interior look great!















The electrician hung our exterior lights. Below is what they look like.















As far as the baby, things are going just fine! I am in Week #18. I feel great and am less tired. I swear, I popped out overnight! People had been asking me daily when I'll start showing. I could tell I had a bump, but I guess others can't tell with my clothes on. However, on Thursday I had at least 6 people tell me that I'm finally showing. I have been getting comments ever since then. Too funny!

We hope everyone is enjoying getting ready for the holidays! We are certainly excited to see family and friends and celebrate the wonderful Christmas season!
