December

For the last month we have spent pretty much every second of free time either working on our window project or getting ready for Christmas. We both decided that the month between Thanksgiving and Christmas is not a good time to take on home improvement projects as we feel we rushed through all of our favorite holiday traditions. 

We decided to replace the three big windows in our living room and one by the back door. David's dad offered to help us and we are so thankful for his carpentry skills. He ordered the windows for us and then David and Jon installed them with some help from David's brothers. After that day we or rather David has spent hours painting multiple coats on the trim pieces getting them ready to install this weekend. Our garage was filled to the brim with wood drying and it was a bit claustrophobic to even go in there.

After- here's the back window without trim
On another note here is a picture of my growing belly at 29 weeks. We are getting pretty excited about the upcoming arrival of Baby Reggie as we call him. Hopefully a good 2 months before he comes but still it feels very close.

Where'd you get the windows? We're considering a window project, albeit much much smaller.
