Our New Carpet

you can see our newly painted walls and Alex, you can see our new TV (got that for Christmas last year) and green chair in the family room. The front room is missing the piano, coffee table and end tables. We still need a few pieces of furniture to make it complete but that will have to wait. The most important part is the carpet. The walls in the front room will be painted later too since we have worn ourselves out doing all we have so far. It is the summer and we want to just enjoy all that we have accomplished. There is also a picture of the wood floor in the entryway. Hope you like them!!!!

Mother's Day Weekend

Tim worked really hared getting up the tile in the front room. We are going to put down a wood entry from the front door to the kitchen. It was back breaking work, but he hung in there and got the job done.

Below are my flowers from my family. I love them. I haven't gotten flowers in a long time. There was about 100 blooms.

My other Mother's day gift was a call from Alex. He has 7 weeks to go and then he will be home. I know these last few weeks are going to be difficult, especially since his companion is going home the transfer before him... so they have been working on getting his companion ready to go home. So Alex said he requested that his new companion be someone who is ready to work hard. I know that focusing on the work will help the weeks go by faster.
