New House

We found a new house that we are going to rent here in the Quad Cities. We think it is going to work out much better for our little family. Sean will still have a big garage for woodworking. Killian has a huge play room in the basement that might just be able to hold all her toys, for a while! And best of all I will have a craft room! It is a smaller room right next to the play room so Killian and I can "play" together. Killian has already tried to take over my craft room because it has storage under the stairs and she thinks it is the perfect place to hide. We have spent the last couples weeks painting some of the rooms at the new house (pictures to come soon). I was very excited that we could finally give Killian a room all decorated just for her. She decided that her room should be blue so we picked out 2 colors a lighter and a darker blue. As Stefanie and I were painting Killian let us know she was not happy with what we were doing to her room. I got a little worried that she might be serious, but as soon as Daddy and Sean came to finish painting and to tell her how pretty it was she then of course thought it was the greatest thing ever. She stood in the middle of the room and threw her hands up and said "Oh my goodness, I loooooooooooove my room!" I have quite a few projects that are in the works for her room and the rest of the house. I will be sure to post pictures as they get done.

Killian's Playroom and my craft room (I am still working on her signs for the walls, so more pics later)

Sean redid the basement. He put up the chair rail, new bottom half of the walls and the new carpet.

My awesome Librarian Action Figure on my desk. 

There are still many projects that we want to do in the house. Top priority is to make Killian's bed and some bedroom furniture. We found a really cute bedroom set that will "grow" with her, but the asking price was more then $1,200. Sean says he can easily make the same set for considerably less money. Sean still has to make my Hope Chest and he has lots of other projects for friends and family members. I am going to finish making the decorations for the playroom and then move on to making Killian some bedding.
