It's Ready!!!!

I don't know why I am spending time on this when I have so much to do, but I couldn't resist.  The house is finally done and we are moving in tomorrow. 

View from the street



View from the driveway into the back yard

Upstairs playroom

Carly's room

Carly's vanity area.  The girls each have a vanity with closet then share a toilet and shower.  They call it their "wing" of the house.  They are all along the back of the house.

Joiner's vanity

Joiner's room.  This is BRIGHT pink, but she chose it and loves it!

Upstairs hallway

Bennett's bedroom

When I asked him what he would do in his room, he said "Go night-night" and laid down!

Living room

Kitchen and breakfast room

View of the back yard from the patio and next to the screened porch.

Up the hill

View from the front porch

Dining room.  The light fixture is one from my grandmother's house that is at least 100 years old.  It looks really cool.  The globes aren't on yet.  The one in the breakfast room is also one of her light fixtures.

I didn't take any pictures of the basement today, but there is a guest room and TV room along with the garage.  We have never had a garage!

Oh, well!  On to the chaos!

Georgia On Our Mind

I have been working on this post for about 2 weeks.  Whew!  I will try to get a beach post out and then there will be a break as we try to finally MOVE!  Yeah!

We headed down to GA the week after the dance recital.

You can see Mr B was happy to be there (and to be out of the car!)

Giving Robert a hug

We always fight over whose turn it is to play the piano



We headed to the Atlanta Zoo the next morning bright and early.  Here are the girls and Mamie heading in.

This was the turtle's lunch

Getting cooled off by the sprinkler

Going through the tunnels

The girls being kangaroos

B needed his turn.

We bought passes to ride the train, carousel, and bounce house because Bennett loves trains.  Of course the train wasn't running before 2 that day, but he loved the endless rides on the carousel.

The girls were also able to try the climbing wall.  They were both a little tremulous.  Here is Joiner giving it a go.

Getting a pep-talk from the helper.

Carly trying

Bennett singing "Twinkle Twinkle" after his nap.  I have a great video of this, but I don't know how to add it.  Maybe one day.

We went to Mountain Park the next day and got to try a climbing wall there as well

Pops and Bennett chilling!

Of course, we had to visit the swings!

Pops made it to the top of the rock!

Then Daddy, and Mamie, but her picture didn't load. 

Bennett and Daddy came home to nap and the rest of us drove to Alpharetta to visit the American girl store in ATL.  The sun was a bit bright!

The final day we made a trip to some friends who have very friendly goats.  Here is B feeding them. 

Carly is walking one

There was a little old bike that Joiner was helping Bennett ride.

It was a great trip as always!
