The tour you've been waiting for

Hey everyone.... well, let me start by saying the obligatory apology for how long it's been since our last post. I can justifiably say that we've been busy, but there really are no excuses for our complete and total abandonment of our precious blog. So here we are, 2 months later, and so much has changed and happened. First things first, we are in our house, it's wonderful, we're so happy with how it turned out. We worked on it for about 5 weeks straight, and I must say a huge thanks to all of our ridiculously cool friends who helped us so much. This is your house as much as ours. We moved in the weekend of June 28 and 29. Mabri didnt have any trouble making the transition, she did great. Wow, that kid..... She is growing up right before our very eyes. She's learning words all the time, but we're realizing that she learns so much quicker by watching Brooke and I, rather than us telling her something. She has learned to man a fork and spoon on her own, and her hair, as you will see, just continues to afro itself in to the stratosphere, and we love it. She loves playing with her best friend Addi. We took the kids to the zoo yesterday, and had a great time. So I'll start w/ a few "before" pictures of the house, and then the video tour, Cribs style. well....not quite. I dont say anything about magic happening in the bedroom, but you'll get the idea. Also, we're still working on the outside of the house, getting our flower beds and things in order, and we still need to do some mulching, so we'll get picures of that up on our next post.

ENJOY!!
