Adding a New Member to the Family

The month of February proved to be a great one for Ben and I! Not only did we have a great time celebrating Valentines Day and renovating our kitchen, but we also found out that we are expecting!

We are super excited and can't wait to meet the baby! We are due November 3, but that usually changes lol! We were not going to tell a lot of people other than our families but we couldn't keep our excitement in. We are going to try to update this website as my belly begins to grow, but I apologize in advance if we are a little slow at the updates.

Today is Ben's first day of his 4th year apprenticeship. This will be his last year and then he will be a certified journeyman. So I wish him luck and hope that the next 8 weeks go by fast.

The kitchen renovations went really good. Ben managed to get a whole lot accomplished before he left for school. The only things left to do are putting the countertop on, installing the floor, and doing the baseboards and trim. It looks great and I can't wait to have a kitchen again.

The renos may not stop there. Now that the baby is coming...Nick graciously offered to move his room downstairs so that we could have the baby's nursery upstairs with us. (I think he just wanted to get away from the baby crying). So we are now looking at putting a bathroom downstairs so that Nick doesn't have to come upstairs at night if he needs to use the bathroom. Plus it means that he will be responsible for his own bathroom....yay less cleaning for me LOL. We haven't finalized this decision yet but it is something we are looking at.

We do have some sad news too. My cat Jack had to be put down last week. He had a really sore hip, had some breathing problems and wasn't cleaning himself or moving a lot. The doctor also told me that due to my allergies and being pregnant that it would be a good idea to have him out of the house till the baby came. So Ben and I decided that it was probably best to put him to sleep. It was a very hard thing to do and we miss him so much!

So there has been a lot going on in our little neck of the woods. Hope all is going great with everyone!!
