WINDOWS!!!!!!!!

We were very excited to show up at the house and see that they have put in the windows and finished tiling the roof. Since this picture was taken, our garage door has also been put up and the stairs have been poured:)

They have also framed my tub!! I was soooo excited about this that Nick had to take my picture...I tried to be serious, but I was bursting!! The light that we will get in the rooms is just awesome. If we have alot of company at the same time...the bath tub could double as a bed...hehehehe





MOTHER'S DAY

My Mother's Day was sooo perfect!!
Sarah was dropped off here on Sunday morning. We all went out for breakfast, went out to the house (took some more pictures-hehhee), the kids made me lunch, and then Nick took alllll his women out for dinner. We went to Le Sirene de la mer. Words just doesn't do this place justice! You get to choose your own fish....and they cook it the way you want. It was simply beautiful. Nick also had bouquets of roses for his mom, his aunt, and of course me:) He never misses a detail. Unfort. we didn't get any pictures of the night since Sarah was too busy eating her yummy dessert...lol
The kids made me lunch. It was Fajatas...they did a really great job...except for the mess to clean up afterwards...hehehe

TISS' THE SEASON

I really have to share what we did last night.
We went to Dairy Queen for our first visit of the summer! It just so happens that DQ is just down the road from our new house. Happiness Issssss!!!
But I just have to share with you a comment made in the car.
Sarah is sitting quietly in the back of the van, eating her coffee crisp blizzard, when all of a sudden she says "Momma, philly says they are a little piece of heaven--nope...it's Dairy Queen". She is sooo my daughter! lol
Every time we go home to New Brunswick we always make it a point to hit the local Dairy Queen down the road from my parents place. These pictures were taken last summer when we were home. We will be going home for the long weekend (May16-21) and most likely we will hit DQ while we are there, and I can't wait!!

PROGRESSING

Last Wednesday we went to take a look at the progress on the house. We were very pleased not only to see a hole, but also the foundation was put in:)

Let me tell you...when we showed up on Friday to see THIS, we were even more pleased!! Most of the walls are up....the roof will be next. We went on Saturday to give our final order for the brick and roof tiling. Next weekend we have an appointment for the final decision on the ceramic in the main bathroom upstairs. The other bathrooms, Nick has decided to do himself.
The children were so excited. They climbed, and laughed...they really can't wait to move in.





Sarah was making a joke here about the size of her room. Nick told her maybe he will ask the contractor not to put her roof on, to make it look bigger...lol

Sarah checking out where her room will be.

Our sign-over date is for the 1st of August. We would like to be moved in before the children start back to school at the end of August. This is all just very exciting for all of us:)
