I am finally posting a couple of pictures from our trip to Chicago. Yes, it was about a month ago, but I've been busy! We have been packing and getting everything ready to move. These pictures are actually ones from my phone. I promise you, we do have more pictures, I just haven't had time to post them. But here we are, in the snow! I also have Christmas pictures to post, but...
We finally closed on the house on Dec. 29th and had started to go over there to paint and do the (seemingly) few things we needed and wanted to do before moving in. Well...after about 1 day of painting in Sadie's new room with her all over the place and all the prep work you have to do. We looked around at the rest of the house needing to be painted and decided to "phone it in". Some of you may be thinking we took the easy way out but let me say that I am VERY happy we chose to do that. Adam and I work full time and we are only together 1 full day a week. In addition, we have a 2 1/2 year old. Not a good combo with painting a house. Luckily we found someone that was willing to do it for us for a small compensation and it looks great. Adam ripped up the carpet and the new carpet will be put in next week. We initially were going to put down laminate floors but, again, we do not have time (or skill) to do this. We decided that this is our 5 year house and carpet will be fine. So, all we have left to do (the painting is done) is hang the new fans and light fixtures, hang the blinds and paint the kitchen cabinets. All of that will be done this weekend (God willing). I am so excited I feel like I am going to burst. Adam and I are taking lots of pictures so we can post them later. Sadie is doing really well and is starting to sound more like a big girl everyday. She has a hilarious personality and is so fun to be around. We got her a tricycle for Christmas and she likes riding it and taking her "babies" with her. I keep asking her if she is excited about her new room and scrunches up her face and screams "EXCITED" really loud. When we were leaving the house the other night, we were in the car and driving away and she said "bye bye new house, bye bye new room". I'm hoping that once all our stuff is there and her room is set up, she will be happy and comfortable. My plan is to do her room and the kitchen first and everything else after that. It's really important to have her room ready for her. Anyhow, I'll try and post pics of past and present Shugan happenings. haha. Loves
