Windows!

Most of our windows came in today, and they already have all of the ones in the back put in! Besides the three that are backordered. Well, technically not backordered, the tornado that went through a town in Iowa is really close to the plant where the windows are manufactured, and the plant is out of power, workers without homes...etc. So, not sure when they'll be back up and running. Hopefully in a week or two? No idea. The guys are hoping to get the rest put in tomorrow. Can't wait to see the front of the house with them! Loving the back.

Insulators are planning on coming on Tuesday, then they start sheeting, maybe the following week? I should really get a better idea of our timeline, but I know it's moving, that's the most important thing.

I am going to pick up our kitchen cabinet sample tomorrow morning, hopefully it's 'perfect' and we can go ahead and place the order for the cabinets, get the trim and doors going, etc. But, I have a feeling it'll be a little too 'red'. We're really shooting for the nice, dark looking cherry color, almost just a brown with a hint of red, not mostly red...if that makes any sense. So, we'll see.

Oh, and yesterday Connor rolled over in his pack-n-play. I set him in there, almost sleeping, 15 minutes later when he woke up crying...he was on his back. Granted, it's not the most flat surface ever, little bit of give in it so it was probably easier to roll over in there than on the floor...but still. Let's just hope he doesn't start crawling while we're still in this rental, I can't imagine baby proofing this place. As if.

And finally, the pictures.

Christy - I really like your windows - you are really rolling on the house! Most importantly, I can't wait to see Connor this weekend - just htink, you won't have to hold him at all with all your aunties ready and willing :-)

Love you,
Rita
