Second Day of Cabinets



Our contractor finished hanging all of the cabinets and installed the dishwasher & microwave. The counter top guy came and measured for our new granite counter tops.

First Day of Cabinet Installation!

Monday was the first day of the installation of our cabinets. They made quick work and hung almost all of the cabinets. We can start to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Alphabet

Andy and Shawn hung up the chair rail & a ledge for the babies rooms last weekend. THe Alphabet letters really give a pop to the room.



And we hung up the pooh prints.

We have Cabinets!

Our cabinets have finally arrived. Our contractor will start installing on Monday! so for the weekend, we can just look at them and squeeze by them. Which is easier for some than others.....



This will be our new Pantry.



Our ever changing dining room. Now full of boxes and cabinets!

More pictures to come this week as we start to finally have a kitchen again.

36 weeks

According to our baby books, the baby is adding about an ounce of weight each day. Not surprisingly, Ariella's belly keeps getting bigger and bigger.

Here's the latest "belly" photo.

Baby style



On March 29, we had our baby shower at the house. Thanks to the generosity and keen fashion sense of our family and friends, our baby is going to be looking very stylish for a very long time.



Of course, being a stylish baby requires a lot of laundry.



And every stylish baby needs to have a wardrobe ready for every occasion.



No outfit is complete without shoes... even if they're just little tiny ones.

Making room for baby

With everything that's happening in the kitchen (or, recently, NOT happening in the kitchen), we finally got some time to concentrate on the nursery. It took us a while longer than we thought it would, but it's finally ready for little Ms. Saucier to move in.

In February, Andy spent a weekend scraping the windows and sanding everything in sight. In March, Lindsay came down to help paint. The light color on the top half of the room is called "Lambskin". The pink color on the bottom is called "Raspberry Parfait".







Our crib, changing table, chair and toy box were finally delivered a few days after our baby shower on March 29. Andy's mom made the curtains, bumpers and bed skirt with fabrics we picked out. Lime green and pink are the primary colors, with brown as an accent color.





(Our new glider/rocker... definitely the most comfortable seat in the house)





The baby's crib is already filled with handiwork from our very crafty family... the quilt was made by Andy's mom, and the blankets were made by Ariella's mom and Andy's sister.
