A work in progress still...

We had lots of help on Saturday from two of our brothers...
Maurice put in all the living room trim, which was a big help because I am very eager to at least get one room done before starting
school in a few weeks!

Our boys love to help as well. :)

And Steve (back for the weekend) was
a wonderful all-around help as well!
My hard-workin' hubby moved the drain, plus other jobs.

(Thanks for having us all over for a restful Sunday, Mom!
And for babysitting all the kids today too!!!)


This is what the living room looked like yesterday afternoon...
almost impossible to keep the kids away from
such an exciting playground!

...but they did have lots of fun outside as well,
"building" houses out of some of the boxes.


And today the Home Depot installers began working...

...and will be back to finish up tomorrow, the Lord willing.
Here's what it looked like when they left this evening.
I think it's looking good! I feel spoiled! :)

I need to keep verses like these in mind:
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who according to His abundant mercy
has begotten us again to a living hope
through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled
and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you...

1 Peter 1: 3-4

The Lord is preparing a much better home in heaven for His bride -- incorruptible, undefiled, unfading beauty!
So let's keep our eyes on Him and use all the blessings
He's given us on this earth for His kingdom & glory!

Looks great, Sharon! I'm so glad things are getting there - it's never fun living in a half-finished work-in-progress! But, it's true - we've reminded outselves many times in the past while, we need to be thankful that we are blessed SO abundantly! It is part of God's blessing to us that we are even able to do these renovations - to Him be the glory!
