AND AFTER

This is what I first saw when I walked through

the garage into my house.

And then I walked into my kitchen.

And then into my living room. Max was trying to get into

every one of my pictures.

I couldn't believe it! It is totally amazing. I left for Texas

with the kids and Cory stayed home to work. He actually

did this with some help from others. I was very proud of

him. Then at the end of my 2 weeks he was flying down standby

to drive home with me. He ended up coming sooner than planned

and left the house a total mess. But thanks to his parents and

sisters, when we came home our house was spotless with

all of the furniture put back together with all of the little

slider things that you need for the wood floors. They are

all amazing.

This is the new carpet on our stairs. We love this just as much.

I was going to take pictures of the upstairs but there were too

many toys that I didn't want to pick up. But it is amazing.
