2 weekends ago we visited my parents in GA and went to a hot air balloon festival and carnival. Addy enjoyed the carousel with mom several times over, as this was the only ride Gran would ride :).
Ok, here they are, we are so a work in progress. This is the foyer and to your right is the dining room and to the left is the living room.
Dining room...
Living room...
This is the study, you enter it room the rear of the living room. The open door on the right is the master bedroom door. The door in the middle is the nursery.
master Bedroom...
Master Bath...
The door way with book shelves on the right is the study that enters the hallway and has the stairs to go up to a couple of bedrooms, I'll have to post pics later of them.
This is going up the steps to the girls rooms.
This will be Harley's room once finished...
This is Harley's room, reversed...
Addy's room is now PURPLE and is right at the top of the steps...
This is a sitting area that we hope to eventually make into an upstairs bathroom...
This is going to be the pink bedrooom when finished....
This is back down stairs, the sunroom, which is down the hall and to the left.
Laundry/Pantry room...

I would be remiss by not sharing our honey bee story. Stan noticed a good many bees flying in and around the living room window soon after we moved in. Long story short...we had a bee hive in our wall!!! Stan bought this radar thermometer to locate exactly where the hive was (because they keep their hive at a particular temp) and then drilled several holes (the drill bit came out with honey dripping off it!) and puffed some special bee insecticide in it which was a little eerie
because they went crazy and made a lot of buzzing noise and we could hear. After a few days he cut out the plaster and removed the hive, which was 3 layers thick in some spots! It was a mess.
Here he is holding one layer of it.
THE END!!!
Harley's take on potty training....So, Harley's pride and joy these days is carrying her diapers to the garbage can after we finish changing her. She does this with the biggest smile on her face while looking to see who all is watching her. The other day instead of going straight into the kitchen where I usually go to pull out the garbage can for her majestic dumping of the diaper I said, "Harley how about we throw away your diaper in mommy's bathroom. I think Addy is in there waiting on me to brush her hair." So, we walk in there. I forget that Harley has the diaper and I start fixing Addy's hair because we are running a little late for our Chick-fil-A date. I hear "plop" right into the toilet is where Harley puts her tee-tee diaper. Where else? That's where tee-tee belongs, right?
Here is the new baby's room thus far. Not all that exciting, but a few people have been asking to see it so here it is. I say"new baby" because for 28 weeks we had decided on naming the baby boy Skylar. This was Stan's choice. He had wanted to name both Addy and Harley Skylar if they were boys, so now was his opportunity. However, 3 days ago at midnight, he decides that this may not be the best name for an adult male. "preacher Skylar" or whatever he may become just doesn't sound very good anymore. So, as of now we are undecided. However, the name William is in the top runnings (Stan and his Dad are both William's).
And the kitchen with the infamous plaid paiting technique that I really don't advise anyone doing...
And lastly, everyone wants to know how homeschooling has been going....for the most part good. Addy is reading some now. As you can see, we still have a little trouble confusing the "i" and "e" sounds.
Lastly, my sweet girls and my rapidly increasing in size tummy.
Dining room Half way...
Master AFTER...
We had no idea that when we bought this house we were buying an orchard at the same time! We have grape vines galore, peach, apple, pear, and plum trees, supposedly blackberries and blueberries, but I didn't see many of them this season. Here is Addy with some fresh grapes.
