Remodeling, visitors, and baby shower

This last week has been more busy than any I can remember, even when we moved in! Starting last Friday Luke cased all of the doors and I painted the nursery with some help from friends. Then starting Tuesday we got the house completely re-plumbed, new flooring and updated electrical. For two days we had to go over and shower at my parents. Both of the bedrooms have new carpet and the kitchen has new Pergo flooring. Luke also tiled the shower, put up wainscoting, and started to redo the closet. Fixing up an old house is defiantly an adventure. The electrical in the closet was a low grade electrical cord that had been cut up and the plumbing still had lead drains, scary, and was close to being backed up. Thankfully everything got done just in time for Luke's mother and Aunt Kate to get there, literally, we were still cleaning up saw dust as they walked in the door. The baby shower was Saturday and was beautiful thanks to my best friend Amy Jo and her family. We ended up having it at my parent's house since the PUD was booked. The gal who made the cake for our wedding also made the cake for the shower. We are now almost ready for the baby to come. Luke's mother and aunt had to leave on Sunday, but we very much enjoyed having them and when the baby comes Luke's mother will be here for three weeks to help out and enjoy her first grand baby. We will be sure to post pictures soon!
