Welcome to the 21st Century!

Success!!  Goodbye "green monster" - Hello tumbled marble tile.  By far our favorite thing in the new bathroom is the tile.  I am beyond excited to have a clean, modern bathroom for our guests to use.  Apologies to all of those that were subjected to the "green monster."  We hope the new digs make it up to you!

Without further adieu, here is the transformation (minus accessories that will be hunted down this weekend:)...

Thinking about some cute baskets for the bottom shelf of that vanity
Kohler transformed our little cave

The tile! I die.

Dairymen's Vacation #2

Ahhh...nothing like a long labor day weekend to recharge your batteries and get you ready to get back to work play catch-up on house chores, house reno and baby preparations!

We plowed right through to 27 weeks pregnant over our vacation.  We have officially entered the 3rd trimester!  Preparations continue as more baby books flood in from Amazon.com.  Newest on the hit list are: Dunstan Baby Language & What Babies Can Say Before They Talk.  I have been an information junky since this journey began, but I really just enjoy everyone's outlook on all this baby stuff.  Ultimately, I always think I know better than any of them anyway:) 

27 Weeks
26 weeks and a few days:)  This is our pit stop @
Minocqua Brewing Co en route to Dairymen's

Once we got to Dairymen's there was lots of playtime.  We had the pontoon boat out everyday, we fished, we "eagled", we relaxed and of course we ate and ate and ate some more!

Pete, Matt and Scott - Our daily cruise on Home Lake

This is the lodge - where the constant feedings take place.
Can we saw Mackinaw Island Fudge Ice Cream?! (Sorry, Doyle's - it's not "Mackinack!"

Here's Matt and Pat playing their new drinking game
This is "Eagle-ing" on Blue Gill.  You catch a trout (thank you, Molly) then once it's deceased you toss
it from your boat and watch the two eagles fight for the feeding!  Very exhilarating!

It was a memorable trip that I hope inspires an annual Labor Day Dairymen's trip with the Brown's & Kennedy's!

Say Good-Bye to the Green Monster

Starting Monday demolition begins on the guest bathroom we so lovingly refer to as the "Green Monster!"  I wanted to bid her a proper farewell...

God bless the forest green, 1920's mini tiles and
the white 1980's lacquer vanity.
And the crown jewel - the "Green Monster" herself
We've picked out all the new goodies over the past couple weeks and our trusty contractor (the same man who saved me from my closet catastrophe) will start on Monday!  Here's a sneak peak at the tumbled marble tile that won our hears...

I'll be sure to post some fun demolition pictures before the transformation really starts taking shape!  For now...off to our 2nd hypnobirthing class!
