Lillian can stand!

I did a terrible job getting it on film, but she can stand on her own for like 30 seconds. Not bad for an almost 9 month old. Very advanced for her age, you know.

Kitchens, Bathrooms and more

The house is SO close to done I can taste it. Tiling and painting will finish in the next day or two. Then waiting for the glass and the plumber to finish up the faucets and we are in soon!! Goal move in date is next Friday, but this weekend we'll be doing some initial wiping down of the inside kitchen cabinets and getting furniture and bookshelves set up. Follow the jump for pictures.

Mr. Contractor, Tear Down This Wall

News about the baby is exciting, but he isn't the only 2011 new addition we're focusing on right now. The reconstruction of the back of our house is well underway. Demolition is pretty much complete and the first steps of new construction have started. I'll post some pics of the construction progress, but first here's a quick review of the demolition.  

Since this post has so many pictures, I'll put all of them after the jump.  Click the "Read More" link to see the full post and all of the pics.
