And I'm done for the night...

This is what our house looked like the last time we checked it out this past Wednesday night. It was my Mom's birthday the Tuesday before so we took her out to eat in Champaign as well as look at the house. We are still planning to close September 26th and they don't have too much left to do! The tile and hardwood is down and we are just waiting for the carpet. They have put in the cabinets in the kitchen and bathrooms and installed the lockers in the laundry room. Lil' Ron already knows which one is his room. I would post more pics but they are all turned to the side. I have to figure out how to move them around so you can see more of the house. We are planning to go back this week to see the house again and will definitely take more pictures. I have also posted a lot to this blog tonight so make sure you go back to see all the pics!

Illinois State Fair!

Just thought you might like to see pics of our adventures to the State Fair. We went on Sunday afternoon with Ron's parents and had a good time! Lil' Ron thinks he can eat corn on the cob. At the time, he had no teeth but I am FINALLY happy to say that he has popped his first tooth!!! He's not too happy about it and has been waking up in the middle of the night wailing but it's pretty exciting! He LOVED the big slide. Him and Big Ron went on it two times. I think if it wouldn't have cost so much and Ron would have been a bit more in shape, they would've went more! You can also see in the pics my pork chop on a stick, the only one of it's kind in Central Illinois. Boy was it good!

I love dipping!

Lil' Ron is now an expert dipper. He doesn't like to get the ketchup all over his hands so he daintily dips his food into whatever condiment is available. Ketchup is definitely his favorite though, much like his mom!

A haircut for Lil' Ron!

Here are pics from Lil' Ron's 1st (but really second) haircut by Daddy. He actually sits very still and looks so cute when he's all done. He doesn't look like the same baby at all! I guess no one can mistake him for a girl now!

Only a matter of time...

Here are some pics of the house with the paint colors we chose! The green room is going to be Lil' Ron's room. The brown room is one of our extra bedrooms. The blue room is our master suite (sounds nice, huh?!?). I also included a picture of the back of the house with the siding almost done. I think we did pretty good with the colors. What do you think?

After Louisiana...

In just a short week, this is what happened! We were thinking that at this rate, the house might be done the next week but unfortunately it wasn't. It's pretty exciting, isn't it?!??

After Holland...

So before we left for Louisiana but after we came back from our Holland trip, this is what our house looked like. The frame was up and you could sort of tell the rooms apart. It was crazy how fast this was put up!
