We've surrendered

Apparently, blogging is the cool thing to do- and we tried to fight it so long. But, we're weak and decided that it has it's major advantages, so we're jumping on the bandwagon. To start it off, below are pictures of the two major things in our lives: 1) our house project and 2) Maddie!
We finally bought a house- a huge fixer upper, but a house. Can you believe these houses go for around 1 million dollars? What? We are as confused as you.

We are completely tearing it down to the studs and all of the interior walls are moving in different areas to update the layout.

We love trees, but not these trees. There were 3 overgrown fir pine trees in the back of the house. After a lot of thought, we decided to cut them, and the neighbors were jumping up and down singing. We came out and watched the crews take them down in 2 days. It was amazing.

This is the last look.


Maddie loves playing at the park and watching dogs. Just minutes before this, she saw her little furry friend which can explain the smile!


Notice the dog? This is her other favorite... the winnie the pooh car from Costco!


We bought her a hat that she couldn't tear off, but in order to put in on her, I had to bribe her with snacks...

So glad you jumped on the bandwagon--blogs are a great way to keep in touch! I can't believe how big Maddie is getting! She's becoming a little girl and not a baby! Keep the pictures coming! Miss you. :)
