All better!

I guess I'm on the 'monthly' updates now! LOL! Well, in a nutshell, we've had a 'few' things happenin' in the Richardson household! Beau was sick for the past 3 weeks! It all started with a little cold and a trip to the ER last weekend confirmed my intuitions that his cold had taken a turn for the worse- Bronchitis! It was pretty scary for us newbie parents! His temp reached 104.7 so we rushed him in and they did a chest xray and said it was bronchitis. They put him on Amoxicillian which kicked in about 3 days later. I'm just so happy it wasn't pneumonia! Poor little guy! Anyways, Beau is feeling much better as you can see from the picture above (taken yesterday). But now chuck is sick :( But I think he got the worst of it yesterday so hopefully today will be a better day for him.

We've done a few new things to the house- the curtains are officially gone and we got new blinds, which we LOVE! We just put those in a week ago....I should say chuck put those up :) Chuck also put in a new kitchen floor two weekends ago. He's such a sweetie...he surprised me with it after I was in the cities with Beau. I was pretty bummed out that Beau had gotten sicker than he already was while we were down there and had to cancel plans with my college girls which was the whole purpose of the trip...then I didn't feel well. Needless to say it was not the best weekend so coming home to that and knowing chuck was thinking of me was special.

I think we are finally seeing the light at the end of our biggest project...THE BASEMENT! The ceilings got sprayed on Friday so now all that needs to be done is paint, trim and then the new carpet! We are so looking forward to this project being done and having the extra space!! Although it is going to seem strange when it's completed...we've been working on it for over a year so when it's done, now what? RELAXATION IN THE BASEMENT! lol!

With the beautiful weather we had yesterday I was able to get outside and work in my flower garden and stain the cedar swing chuck got me for my birthday last year. I also did some baking and took the beaumister for a walk which he loved!

Enjoy your...month?! AND the summer weather!

By the way, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD AND HAPPY 30TH ANNIVERSARY MOM AND DAD! WOW, 30 YEARS! WE LOVE YOU! (June 2nd)

House UPdates!

This picture turned out dark, but chuck put in a new kitchen floor! He surprised me with it after a long weekend in the cities with a sick little one...what a hubby! :)

No more curtains :) They burn so nicely in the bonfire :) LOL!

Got PrOjEcTs??

Has it really been a month since I last wrote?

Beau started daycare last week at Vicki's and did very well! The first day he cried for about 10 minutes after I left which was to be expected but then he was fine...so we're all starting our new schedule. There are a couple of toddlers at Vicki's so I think Beau was pleasantly happy to see other little people there too! LOL!

The phone continues to ring for the business and chuck's getting the job's lined up- we are very happy at how fast the jobs are coming! Bring 'em on baby! At this rate, chuck and Eric will probably have to hire temp help! He's in the process of building a website for the company and it's so incredible! I'm so proud of him! He's really put a lot of thought and work into the site with pictures and different descriptions of services. As soon as he's finished with it, we'll be forwarding it to you all!

As you can tell by the picture, we've got the projects going in our house as well! Springtime comes and once again the projects start! On Friday we made a trip to menards and bought out the store it seems like! I love it though when people don't do their job correctly and I can reep the benefits of it! haha! We got a steal of a deal on the carpet because they neglected to switch out the sale price sign from April 10th! So our projects for the next month are recarpeting the upstairs, finishing the basement, replacing the kitchen floor and the bathroom floor...needless to say we definitely have our work cut out for us! So this weekend I painted the upstairs living room and kitchen. It's now 'sweetcorn' (light golden color). I was a little unsure of the color at first, but like it now. We thought since we're getting new carpet installed, we'd put a fresh coat of paint on. I worked on that while Chuck finished up the taping in the basement. Taping is complete and now it just needs to be sanded. Since I repainted, the curtains came down!! Praise the Lord! I never thought the day would come! Although they have served their purpose for the last 4 years and have grown on me, but I was happy to see them go! I've wanted them gone since we first moved into this house, but found better things to spend $$ on other than window treatments! They are expensive!

Hope all is well with you! I'm off to spend a little time with the boys and some of the sunshine! Have a great week!
