Yellow Door...

I know you could just scroll down to the previous post to see the before, but who doesn't like a good reminder of what was?

Here is the last shot of a black door. People doubted me when I told them I wanted a yellow door. We even had neighbors telling us just to leave it black. Nope!

The yellow looks even better then I had hoped!!

I love love love it. And it was worth the wait! The house got put on hold while Drew was laid up in bed with a hurt back! I will show you the culprit of his back in a moment. Anyway, Saturday rolled around and Drew emerged from the house to put another coat of paint on the house, and paint the door.

The pictures just don't even do it justice. It is a perfect yellow with the green of the house!

Drew also fixed out beat up door yesterday. As you can see it had seen better days. But Drew got to work to make it look brand new!

He bondo-ed the door, to take out the huge scratch marks, and smoothed out the ugly details on the middle of the door. And removed the grid of the glass at the top of the door.

It has never looked better. It looks like a brand new door.

And this is what ruined Drew's back. He dug out all of these rocks, and one by one, with the help of our AWESOME neighbors, we put each rock back. Then Drew and our amazing neighbor Dave shoveled the remaining dirt into Drew's truck and then shoveled it again into a dumpster. It was a lot of work, but it looks so good. Thanks everyone for your help!

Super Sized

Super sized should be the theme for Drew. He is a super sized human, with super sized ideas and super sized ambition to turn his ideas into reality.

Kids love Drew a super sized amount. We watched Kate and Lilly one weekend. Now when Kate sees a redd truck she shouts "Andrew!".

He loves our super sized dogs!

He takes on super sized projects, multiple at a time. Not only does Drew work full time, but after hours he works almost every night, but Sunday until 9 or 10pm as handyman.

Somehow with all of that going on he found time to redo the entire exterior of our house.

He changed the entire house. We aren't finished with the paint yet as you can see. But it's getting there. Our sprinkler system finally died. So Drew had to turn his attention to the yard.

Down to the landscaping. He took out the awful chain link, rented a bobcat, leveled out the dirt and removed the plethora of rocks that were consuming our lawn. You should see the looks we get from people driving by. He did it so fast people can't believe it.

And last and certainly not least, this super sized man... Is a super sized husband. Not to be too mushy, but this man is my everything. These last two months, to not be too 'woe is me', were not some of my greatest. And Drew was there for me every step of the way. Poor Drew cares about me so much I began to physically see the worry in his body. I love him more then I ever believed it was possible to love another person. Thank you Drew, for all you do! You're a SuperMan!

Jessica's "Daily Affirmation"

Drew and I have started doing the same thing in the morning, standing on the sink and all!

Hmmm....

Necessity is the mother of invention....

Our can opener broke... Don't worry, it didn't stop us from eating our corn kernals! That is all!

Meet Max...

How sweet is that little face? Wearing cowboy boots and holding his Teddy bear Ramone. I'm smitten...

I LOVE My Job!

I really cannot say that enough!

Especially when babies can start holding their own bottles?!

Baby Claire looks like a giant baby next to her sisters! She loves her babies.

Does it get cuter? Snuck in to make sure babies were asleep.

Kate was passed out! So cute, I almost can't stand it.

Kate catching up on some light reading before her nap.

Excuse me?

Lillian having a very detailed conversation with me on why she loves her lambie.

So snuggly.

Kate just can't get enough of Runaway Bunny.

Baby prison! How could you not love your job? I will gladly take them all home thank you!

Best Project EVER!!!

Well perhaps you remember our little entry table... The one on the back wall...

Well I hated it's stain!

And maybe you remember my grand plan to silver leaf it all... Yeah... That just sounded daunting. So after a visit to our neighbors house, she told me she had the same vision to silver leaf, and then just ended up spray painting metallic paint onto her table. Sold!

So instead of the pix above and several labor intensive hours saved!

Bam! Got my silver table!

And I LOVE it! I didn't even bother to sand this one. I'll probably be regretting that, when I'm repainting it tomorrow. But it took me no more then 10 minutes to paint. Was DRY, 30 SECONDS later and back in place in 5 minutes! I'll do projects like this anyday!

LOVE IT!!!!
