Inside peeks!

There is quite a bit of finishing work to be done on the inside. Everything major is already in place. The only error we spotted was that the island has two levels It was supposed to be all one height. Counter top height, Shaun said it's fixable. *whew* We had them build extra room in around the fridge so we can upgrade as our budget allows.

My favorite room...the kitchen...




The view out of the window over the sink


Master bath (forgot to take a pic of the master bedroom)




linen closet


walk in closet off the master bedroom


boys bathroom..didn't take one of their shower/tub


washer and dryer are going in the empty space to the left of the toilet..the shower is across from the toilet...their linen closet is 3ft deep and off the hall which is not pictured. Yet.


Logan and Billy's room


their good sized closet..which all the boys bedrooms have


Ben and Garrett's room


Declan Finn's room


And one last shot of the outside


We are beyond excited and feel so blessed. A new healthy baby boy last year. A brand new house this year.
Dreams can come true.

Which reminds me of a musical snow globe Shaun bought for me when we were first together. It plays Cinderella's "A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes" <3

We have a house!!

Our new house was put on it's foundation today. The boys and I watched from the comfort of my parent's kitchen and Shaun was our photographer outside in the freezing cold. My father called just before 7am to let us know there was activity at the site. After being postponed several times we were excited to know that this was IT! The BIG day.

Here's a few pictures of the day and our new "baby"....

Happy 8 Months Declan Finn

Our little (lol) baby turned eight months old yesterday. I can not even believe that four short months from now he'll be a year old. Amazing.

Our Boys

Public Service Announcement for the clueless.

If you see me and my husband in public with our five boys...please do not tell me about your "poor" friend who is having her fifth child and it's another boy. I honestly don't give a crap about how sad you are the "good lord" did not bless her with at least one girl.

My jaw was on the ground...so I could not respond to the "woman's" remarks but holy crap it's bugging me today that I didn't speak up.

I mean really....my five wonderful blessings heard those comments....I should have spoken up.
*sigh*
