we're home!

When I posted about our kitchen renovation, I didn't mention that we weren't staying in our home while it was underway. This was an amazing relief and we are so grateful that Todd's parents have a nearby lake house that is only used seasonally so they were willing to share it with us so we didn't have to live in a construction zone. We moved there a few days after Christmas and finally moved back home today.

It is so good to be back.

As you can see below, the kitchen is not finished yet but it's getting close. We are without a stove, dishwasher, garbage disposal, cabinet doors and drawers, the walls and trim are desperate for a paint job, our fridge is in the living room, and the rest of the house is a dusty cluttered mess. Despite that, we are ready to get back to normal after nearly a month away from home, for our sake and the kids'.

Even though it's not finished, we're excited to start living in the new space. We are also looking forward to spending less time in the car and we hope that getting back into a routine will help our toddler sort out some recent sleep challenges. All in all, we're just ready to be home.

Even Wells is pretty happy about it.

And honestly, a few days of takeout and disposable plates sounds like a great way to transition back into normalcy.

I promise to post after pictures as soon as it's complete. Until then, wish us a speedy and smooth completion as we wrap this project up!
