So we're are really closing in on the big day and have been putting in some long hours to get things done quickly! Thomas has been working on the basement, finishing up the drywall and mudding process. It's a long process (having to put on three coats of mud and letting it fully dry in between each one) but he's just about finished. Mom and Dad Fawcett have come to the house a few times to help out, which has been very helpful! We have picked out flooring and made a last minute trip to IKEA to get a few things to furnish the room. All in hopes to be finished by August 1st!




The boys and I have helped some too! Sort of...

Simon got a nasty cut on his leg while working. He was pretty proud!




Here we are in the basement window...our favorite place to find frogs! We found a nice big toad the other day when all the family was here! Allen, Elaine, Owen and Nora were here from DC (Thomas' cousin and his family) and Troy, Leanna and Grace were here as well. We had a picnic outside and the kids played in the sand and pool. Fun times!




Thomas took the boys to West Branch last weekend to pick up a bunk bed to finish their room. I worked on some paintings, moved some furniture (not a good idea when 9 months pregnant), hung window treatments and cleaned out their closet while they were away. We had bought a bunk bed that is now going to be used as a reading loft where EThan can escape from little brothers :) if needed. The white bunk will work better long term since they are twin beds so we opted for those. The boys haven't officially moved into the beds because we have to get mattresses but the room is just about finished. Just a few more little things here and there need to be done. I think they're pretty excited...Ethan has spent the last two weeks in his loft reading for his quiet time! No complaints! Yay!





Oh and the garden...it's out of control!!! Pictures coming soon!

And...it's official...July 29th, baby Fawcett #3 should be here! We can't wait!!!
