House Update

So, Josh is in El Centro this week on detachment, and I've got some time on my hands, so I thought I would update the pictures of our house. Of course, we'll be going by again this weekend after church, so I hope to see even more finished. Looks like they don't have much more to go before it will be ready!





We have a driveway & sidewalk! They've also put up our shutters, front door, and outside lighting!






We love the granite we picked out for the countertops! It goes so great with our cabinets! Now we just have to see how the tile will pull everything together...stay tuned :-)






Josh has a funny little grin on his face...is he imagining a bear-skin rug in front of that fireplace??? Ahhh...just like a man!






The deck off our bedroom - we were so happy to see that they used recycled materials for the floor of the deck!







Tiling in master bath is finished!




I also thought I would post some pictures of Liam after his surgery. He's actually doing really well...the swelling in the joint is still there, but the vet said it will take some time to heal if he did pull a tendon (or possibly both tendons). He's probably the only one in the house who doesn't mind that Josh isn't home this week...he is getting to sleep in the bed with me every night, and he LOVES it!








This was the day we brought him home - the tranquilizer pill hadn't quite kicked in yet...












"Now, this is how you recover from surgery!"

This was one week after the surgery when our local vet changed his bandage. He no longer has a bandage, and his stitches have been removed...now to get him fully recovered!



While I was on here, I thought I would post some other pictures that I've been meaning to get on here. Just some random things...



We spent the day at Del Mar Beach with our friends Nathan, Nadia & Brian. I love capturing pictures of the waves breaking over the rock wall...










I've mentioned all of the squirrels here on base...there are lots of rabbits too. This one was sitting in our front yard one morning...isn't he cute?





Vega really wanted some of my bath bubbles so...I let her have some! Hee, hee, hee...





"High-five Mama! Daddy's out of town and I get his spot in the bed...at least for one more night!"






Look, Mom! Something that I haven't killed in the flower garden! Yes, this came from my semi-green thumb! I've got them growing all along the side of my house!






We hope that everyone is doing well! We miss you all very much!

Until next time...

Love & Blessings to All!

PS...Josh will be returning from El Centro tomorrow. Please pray for a safe flight home for all of the guys!
