Last thursday, we closed on our house! Adam did a great job picking it out. We have 4 bedrooms, a bonus room, 3 bathrooms and a very large walk in storage space next to the bonus room that we will probably end up finishing. I LOVE that the house is brand new and Grant is mostly looking forward to the pool opening! Here are some pictures...
Entry way View looking out of living room Dining room Kitchen (view from dining room) Living room Another view of the living room Gracie's room--I am kind of missing her since she was in our room in our tiny apartment. :-) Downstairs bathroom Can I just say that I also LOVE having my own washer and dryer! I think I cried when they were delivered and I would be lying if I denied the fact that I almost slept next to them that night. I try to hug them daily! Master bedroom Master bath A garden tub...wahoo! Let me just point out that the small area in the back is my area. Adam could open a clothing store with all of his apparel. But dang does he look good in it all! Upstairs--the bonus/playroom Grant's room (yes, I took the pictures at night while the kiddos were snoozing). I don't know what to do with myself now that I am not managing. Just kidding...I have plenty of stuff to do. Do you know how excited I am to work on projects, read a good book, etc.?!?! So there you have it! We have room for visitors so head on out! We can head down to the beach, just hang out at home or hit some hot spots in the neighborhood. C'mon, you know you want to go purchase plane tickets!
That's right...this cute, shirtless baby can finally crawl. I guess I should say this cute, shirtless, big girl can finally crawl! After all, she is 19 months already! She thinks she is pretty awesome and keeps getting better and faster at this new skill every day! Way to go butterfly!
Nae Nae and Papa bought a John Deere Gator for Grant to drive around. It is hilarious! He has been doing pretty good though. Here are a few videos of him driving it along with some pictures. We are all yelling in the background telling him what to do...which I am sure is not too helpful! And don't mind the underwear- he was having a "pool party" as he calls it and he chose his own attire.
I love that song by the way! Have you heard it? If not you should totally check it out (New Shoes by Paolo Nutini) Anyway, on Sunday I thought I would try my hand at making some shoes for Grace- what do you think? All I know, is Grace can make anything look good. :-)
I haven't really blogged for a while. I love to blog but the truth is...I don't have time. But here is a quick update on the happenings of the Barrow's. ***DISCLAIMER***This post contains no pix because our computer stinks. Don't feel bad if you don't want to keep reading. The only reason I even look at my own blog is so I can see my cute kids faces! :-)
*Grace is currently having a few procedures done. They are checking for suspected bleeding in her lungs, checking a few things with her heart and taking care of some granulation tissue around her G-tube site. She had an EKG yesterday and it did show some new strain on her heart so hopefully we will be able to know more after today's procedure.
*Grant had a sleep study a few weeks ago and we discovered that he does not have REM sleep. That is kind of important, don't you think? I am amazed at how well he does given his poor sleep! He is being treated for allergies to try to help it. A few days ago we went back to the ENT--which lead me to...
*Grant will have his adenoids out on Tuesday. Hopefully, this will help even more in the sleep department.
*Adam is staying busy now that busy season has officially begun. But he does an awesome job of balancing his responsibilities with work, family and church. We couldn't ask for a better daddy and husband.
*I am staying busy with managing. I'm not gonna lie...I don't love it! Which brings me to the next point...
*We are moving to North Carolina! (I might get my booty kicked for publicly announcing that...jk...Adam honestly NEVER gets mad. I don't know how he does it. ) The date is still up in the air but we are excited! We will actually be able to buy a house!!! Wahoo!
*Lastly, I need to give a public shout out to Kate. Girl! What would we do without you? I am pretty sure I owe you a trillion dollars for all you do for us. Sometimes, I think Grant would rather have you as his mommy! Thanks for always being so willing to watch him. He loves spending time with his princess, Hadlie. Can you guys come to NC with us?
Grant has loved running around my parents house. He said to me, "Dad needs to get a new job and buy a big building for us. Then we will pick NaeNae up from the airport and she will see my room and say, 'This is humongous!'" The house has been great for hide and go seek and Grant has especially loved playing with his new friend, Pate. Who might I add, has THE cutest little accent! We will miss chasing rabbits in the dark, catching frogs by the pool and on the front porch, puddle jumping on our walks past the numerous lakes in the neighborhood, "golfing" on the putting range next to the garage, watching hawks fly through the sky, searching for golf ball on the golf course behind the house, and many, many more fun things! Grant loved sitting on the bench on the front porch. We spotted a few frogs and had fun catching them. View when you pull up to their street Fun little putting range next to the garage Adam's beloved hoop, the garage and house Back/side view of the house and pool View of backyard area walking out the side door. Their property goes through all of the trees down to the golf course. View towards the front of the house, walking out the side door to go to the garage View coming down the stairs Grant loves the closet...it is big enough to put a little table and chairs in it and he also enjoys trying to "lock" his sister in it. Grant's room (yes, it is a mess but that is just because he has had a blast playing in there) Mommy, daddy, and Gracie's room Upstairs family room Kitchen Grant relaxing in the front room Christmas tree near back door that Grant helped put toys under and around View as you walk in the front door
Dining room Master bedroom Huge jetted tub that I LOVE!!! I will miss you dear friend...oh, and I will miss you too, mom and dad. :-)
