The next house project . . . THE GARAGE!

Well, John has been itching to get his garage organized so we can actually find tools and stuff, but we've been a little busy. Well we finally started the project last weekend because John got a free TV from his work because it was broken - but the amazing John fixed it!! So now he has a HUGE plasma in his garage! It's only the beginning of "The Man Cave"!

He painted the corner walls and is measuring where to put his new TV!
The finished product . . . well for now :) Stay tuned!

Still waiting for the Baby, but the room is READY!

Well, she's not here yet, but we're all ready for her! Katie went to the doctor today and it looks like she'll probably go past the official due date of February 9th. If nothings happened by the 9th, then they will schedule an induction for sometime later that week! So in the mean time we've finished the baby's room and thought we'd put up some pictures to show!Our friend Wes helped Johnny unload the new dresser/changer for the babies room! It was beautiful . . . and tall! Here's the new dresser with a mirror that Katie has had since she was 8, that we painted to match the rest of the furniture!

This is an old frame that we had, so Katie painted it and used some of the leftover curtain material to make this "Frame of Special People". Katie got this idea from her cousin. It has the names and pictures of the baby's grandparents and aunts and uncles, so she can see what they look like.

Baby shower #3 was on January 17th and was thrown by Katie's mom! It was a GREAT time of celebration with family, friends & women who Katie grew up in front of and now they are helping in celebrate this wonderful time in our lives. We enjoyed yummy food while opening presents and hearing different verses read from the Bible on children. It was a joyful time.
