Awwweee-sooommme...
(you're singing it, right?)

Before

After

So, the radiator covers have arrived. I'll only bore you all with a picture of 1, but all 3 of the radiators have new covers now. As I type this, I realize that this is probably not too exciting to many of you, but blog-worthy here. No more worries about singed little fingers here!

- When it's time to change -

The bathroom was just looking drab. So, since it is Labor Day weekend...we labored. We've changed up the color in the bathroom and the hallway. Look out kitchen, you're next.

Bathroom...before

After! Amazing what a fresh coat of paint does to a room.

Andrew changed things up as well. This is what happened to his head on Saturday.

Long, shaggy curls...before (loved it)

After! A short fauxhawk. WOW!

...and this little man changes by the minute.

The Living/Dining Room

View from our room. The front door is in the upper left. And yes, that is Link in Morgan's chair. I think he thinks it's his.

Making our way around...

Nice sunny day...no flash.

and...we're done!

Ok, not really done. We still have some work to do, but the big stuff is handled. What a load off!? Oh...I almost forgot.

Morgan got another new chair...a potty chair, or as he says it, "pop-pee". He knew just what to do with it. Now, we're not going gung-ho into potty training...come on, he's not even 2 yet...but it's here for him to get comfortable with. Mission accomplished.

Ok, Ok...I'll post on the blog.

As you all know, we moved last Saturday into our new condo. The move itself went smoothly. Between painting, cleaning, decorating and deliveries, it is safe to say that our lives have been non-stop since then. It's only just now that we've had a few moments to breathe. So, I'll post some pictures of the place so you all can get off my back! Just kidding...

Morgan likes his new room!

Speaking of...this view is from the door. It started off a dirty yellow. I painted it green and added the stripes.

Coming from the window.

Over a little more to his dresser.

On to the kitchen.

The kitchen houses the back door and a nice big window with a view of a well-kept garden.

Eat-in area...I think we need some artwork, huh??
Update: Andrew found the missing box of art! No more need for artwork.

Bathroom

Our bedroom from the french doors. This room started off kind of green. Now...it's not.

From the other door.

Through those doors is the living room.

Things are by no means 100% settled in, but this will have to do for now. You might notice that there aren't any pictures of the living and dining areas. TOO BAD! I gotta keep you coming back for something... Really, those rooms aren't any where near done so I'm not going to share with you the mess. We are expecting our dining room table and chairs on Monday, a cat box box from Gabe, and in a few weeks, our radiator covers should arrive. I'll post more...but feel free to visit too!

Morgan got a new chair...say cheese!

Hey-yo.....g'bye.

Couldn't resist the dimples!

Link and Patti are enjoying the new place too!

Here we go again!

This is the outside of our new home! That's right kids, on July 30 we will be closing on a condo in southeast Evanston. We've got great schools for Morgan, fun for us, and only 2 blocks from the beach! Let's get packin'...
