The "NEW APARTMENT"

Thanks to my mother-in-law and sister-in-law we finished painting our bedroom and kitchen. As you can see, Holly's great artwork is the diamonds above my sink. As most of you know I'm sure, the red was interesting to paint. We openend the can to find it very very pink, (this is the second can of paint--I took back the first) but once we put the primer on and let the paint dry it turned out the perfect red color for my kitchen.
The other task was the bedroom. We painted it this cool aqua blue...sorry the odd picture but it's the only picture that really showed off the blue well.
So after this, my goal is to find an idea for my dining room (I have a 1/2 can of red and 1/2 can of white to use) and then use mom and dad's paint from the hallway in the study....though I don't know that it will cover, so I need to come up with a plan to do either stripes or squares or something different with tan and green...any ideas?
Hope everyone is doing well, miss you all and hope you come to visit soon!

Jackson Timothy!!!

I (Sarah) actually haven't seen Jack yet, but Dad, Mom, and Seth had a chance yesterday. They said he is beautiful and from these pictures I agree! Congrats Tim & Christa!!

Before and After

Thought you may enjoy the beauties of the before and after pictures of our apt. Aaron and I are now feeling pretty "settled" in our apt here in Chicago and love all the excitement of the city.Here's our living room after move-in day...
And now today (like my new couch?) oh, and note grandma's carpet from the basement on the floor, it fit perfectly!
Joe had amazing endurance in the many trips up our creaky old stairs.
The study before...
And after, doesn't Grandma's desk look great?
Love you all and I'm excited to announce that Aaron got Hoffmann vacation off!!! I'm so excited, so we'll be there!
love you all!

Weekend In Leo!

Kelsey's Rainforest Play her class did...she was "Cock of the Rock" :)
These are From Christa's Baby Shower a few weeks ago...

We had a fun weekend with Tim & Christa. We met U Mark & A Barb in Ft Wayne Sat night for supper...it was fun! I'm glad it worked out, guys! So, I thought I'd post some pic's from the weekend. (esp. since U Mark said 'you'd better put these on the blog') So here you are guys, they turned out good. I'll post those next...

Still waiting to hear when baby Wiegand comes - too bad it didn't happen over the weekend =) Aaron & Bekah...are you all moved it?!? Looking forward to seeing more of you! Well, have a great 4th, everyone. We'll be camping (in a tent!) So please pray we have good weather! Love you all! -Kristy
