It’s been a long few weeks…

A few weeks ago we began a painting project.  It’s quite an undertaking for several reasons.  First, the foyer, hallway, and family room are all connected so it is a large area.  Second, it is our main living area in which we have a LOT of stuff and there is nowhere really to move it all for the process.  Third, there was ivy painted around the entire room, the mantel, and the door and this all needed to be sanded and primed before we could begin.  Fourth, there were some cracks we had to take care of.  Fifth, we have three young kids (enough said).  And finally, in the middle of all this, sickness hit.  Nathan got the stomach bug first.  Several days later it hit Luke, then Chloe, then Levi, then me.  No fun at all!  So, there’s the reason for my lack of posting.  I’ll try to do better.  Here is a picture of the first night Luke was sick.

Here’s the ivy.  We liked it at first.  It served us well.  We were ready for a change.

Here’s a peek at the new color…we LOVE it!
