New Carpet

When we moved in, almost five years ago, the carpet was pretty worn out.  Nate really liked it that way.  He said it was good not having to be careful about the carpet.  I did not concur on this point, but getting new carpet wasn't on the top of the list for a while.  Well, it slowly worked its way up and finally at the end of February, it was at the top and ready to be installed.  The end result has been so worth it.  I must say, we still haven't put the whole house back together yet.  I think I really don't want to.  I am liking the minimal stuff, lack of toys, and overall space. 

We did stay in a hotel the night before the installation.  The kids thought that was the greatest thing ever.  We went swimming, went out to eat, and enjoyed the large Belgian waffle breakfast.

I'm coming to stay this summer. Not really. I do love to stay in motels though. You guys had lots of fun, I'm sure.

Cute, kids. I miss you all so much and wish I could just get in the car whenever I want and come and see you all.

Looks awesome! I'm still jealous of your hotel hideaway! We'll have to try that sometime!

Looks great Jill, just what I pictured it would look like. And look at those 3 cute kids! Jack is looking so grown up and Bella is looking sweet as ever, and Sophie looks like she needs a tickle from her goo!
