La Casa


The Backyard


The bowling-alley sized garage


The new paint job


The new fridge and paint job

Here are a few pictures of our new lil' house. We are happy that it meets all of our needs and that it is in a very good location. Mom spent all day Friday (in very cold temperatures until the gas guy arrived) and Saturday prepping and painting for us. I was with her on Friday, after I left work, and all day Saturday. It was fun to learn from her and spend some time together. The house is looking great and should be done just in time for Adalyn Ann(e) Payne... that's right we settled on Adalyn. We wanted to make sure that all the girlies: Ellie, Natalee, Addie all had the same ending. We are hopy that Ryan and Sara will follow suit by going with Ruby.

Krystal is in the last stages of pregnancy and is retaining a lot of water. If she is on her feet for just a few minutes, they start to swell. I have only called her "Frodo Foot" a couple of times. She keeps plugging along, but if they continue to swell badly this week, she will have to be put on bedrest until the baby comes (in less than 3 weeks).

I promised more posts and this is a good start. I better finish this one so that I can get some sleep. I will get some shots of Krystal before and after having the baby.

Love the paint job--it looks great. Can we get some before bed rest and after bed rest shots of the "frodo feet"? Ryan and I can't imagine Krystal anything but tiny.
