"Uh, I might be tearing up the house!"

I spent Labor Day weekend with my family. On Saturday, we celebrated Abby's second birthday. She got lots of fun and VERY GIRLY gifts. When Matthew and I were shopping for her gift, he said "I guess our house it going to be full of all this girly stuff soon!" I said "You bet!" Here's a picture of the little sweety in her crown her big brother gave her. For more pictures, check out Anita's blog.

On Sunday, we celebrated my grandma's 82nd birthday. It was just a small family gathering of close to 100 people. Yes, that was all family. No, I don't have any pictures.

On Monday I called Matthew to let him know I was on my way home. When I asked him what he was doing, he said "Uh, I might be tearing up the house." This may sound like a scary thing to you, but it was actually a good thing. The work converting our study into Mallory's room has begun!!! We HAD french doors going from our study into our master bedroom. Thanks to the help of our friends Brad and Brad, we now have a wall. There's still work to be done, but here are some pictures of the guys hard at work and our wall in progress.

Right now we have a layer of dust covering our bedroom. Seriously, everything is white! We're temporarily sleeping in one of our guest bedrooms. Check back soon (i hope) for more progress!
