Getting ready for the remodeling + portraits

It is finally happening. We are working every single day on getting more house things packed up. Mike comes home from work and works. :/ Here at home. Matthew said last night, "Is daddy always going to work here at home after work now?" Mike and Matthew are still throwing and playing lots of baseball together but now the evenings also consist of 'other projects'. Mike borrowed Matt's saw and made a ton of dust and dirt when he sawed a line in the black top. There is no remodel job without tons of dirt and we are beginning to see that. Ginger's paws were all black and dirty from running in the grass and black top. :/

Matthew loves to help Mike with his work.

The girls did chalk and watched.

On Saturday, Steve and Landon came to help load up some furniture. The hutch (which is for sale!), the piano and love seat all went to the neighbors for storage. We bought some chairs and things at a local yard sale on Saturday morning too that went right into storage. Thanks Steve and Landon.

Hadassah is getting annoyed at her tan. Since we've been not going to the pool since baby arrived, our tans are all getting lighter. Hadassah and Matthew set up the little pool and filled the tubbie up with water and soaked in the sun on Saturday. :)

They even had their own snack shelf! :)

What a way to beat the heat!

We bought this pick at the yard sale on Saturday too. Matthew dug a big hole in the field and dug out rocks. Ashlyn helped him wash the rocks and they were pretty findings.

Mom came over and we packed up the foods in the kitchen. Now these containers need to be moved over to our "basement home" for storage and use.

Mom and Jody came yesterday afternoon and all the all the things came off the walls. Books and toys were moved into storage. The house is starting to have an echo to it and very bare. We need to be out of the house by August 3 so that means next weekend we pack up the clothes and beds and move out!

====================================
Austin is three weeks old already. He's drinking 4 oz. of formula. He decided to like that better than me. :) I'm OK with that! We took some pictures of him two weeks ago and I have to post them. :/

Many thanks to cousin Lindsey for her photography talents and skills. The pictures will always be treasured!!! She's got a business called "Sweet Face Photography" if you need pictures done.
