Belle

Well, sorry it's taken so long to post here. Life's been a bit busy.

I'll fill in more details later but Mom has been asking for new pictures so here's the latest, fresh from last night...



There are more pictures on flikr, but they are not really organized yet, so you'll just have to poke around.

In the Navy

Christine's Cousin, Matthew, recently joined the Navy, so we met him and Uncle Chuck at Grandmas house in San Antonio last weekend since it might be the last time we see him before he goes to boot camp.

 

The Race is getting closer

Belle is only 4 weeks away, and the house is actually catching up. They washed all the windows this week and it really looks nice. We expect to have the countertops, landscaping, appliances, ... We heard today that we should close on either the 14th or the 28th. If they somehow make the 14th then they might beat Belle. Of course Christine is threatening to have her induced in early December. She's feeling large and uncomfortable.

Here are some pictures from the 16th before they started cleaning things up...

Here is a Picasa slide show from start to where we currently are.

And some shots of the inside of the house:

Mixing cement in our game room. Yes they were really pouring bags of cement out onto the floor and mixing it right in the middle of our game room. They were using it out on the porch to prep for the tiles.


Looking down from the game room to the dining room.

And some Belle progress too:

Christine and I went and stayed out at the Inn Above Onion Creek this weekend for our 15th wedding anniversary. For lunch on Saturday we drove out to Mandolas Winery and had lunch. This is a picture at lunch and as you can see C's tummy is growing with little Belle. She looks great, but is really getting tired of carrying her around now. I'm starting to hear how I get to carry her for the next 9 months now :-) The inn was wonderful BTW as was Mandolas Winery. I recommend both!
