Adam and Heather Hayes

Adam has a small assortment of songs he plays on the piano really well.  Our girls alway request "The Charlie Brown Song" and they dance and dance to it. 

Adam set the camera on the piano bench and then started playing it so we could capture this cute pastime.  The dance is different every time, and usually all 4 girls are upstairs, to join in.

Well, we are moving forward on the new office again. Sheila and Bethany (Heather's mom and sister) came over and did a bunch of texturing, FarrDell (my dad) came over and boxed in our windows, and Heather and I got sore shoulders and backs from painting the ceiling and walls with white primer.

The ceilings took a couple of coats because the old brown sheetrock kept bleeding through. Don't let the pictures fool you into thinking that Heather is the only one doing the painting... I just happen to be the only one that takes pictures, so I'm not in them (and I have the sore back to prove it).

I finally couldn't wait any longer and had to pull out some of the blue paint that will cover the majority of the walls, so here is a sneak peak of the new color.

Stay tuned for new updated (hopefully colorful) pictures.

Well I think the nesting instinct has kicked in. I want things ready for the baby. My c-section is scheduled for April 23rd, so I can at least say I'm having the baby next month! I just started ripping the not-so-cute wallpaper off in the old office one day and then, I caught the bug and wouldn't leave it alone until it was done.

I have learned that the old owners of this house always have an ugly secret under any wallpaper I've ripped off. The basement family room had one wall that the wallpaper was glued directly onto the Sheetrock. Luckily it wasn't that severe a case in this room. But still, the walls were VERY ugly underneath. Holes galore, rips to the Sheetrock, mold, and more. They tried to get off an ugly floral wallpaper and beat up the wallls doing it, then gave up and left a little on, then covered it all with the brown wallpaper. I don't have a picture of the before sadly.

But lucky you get to see how glamorous I look when I work! The picture part of the wallpaper comes off in no time. But the glued on under part takes a lot of wallpaper stripper and scraping.

I painted the room light green, I know I'm pregnant, but painting the family room red when I was pregnant with Vi doesn't seem to have ruined her.

The carpet is yet to come but I'm glad to have the walls looking healthy again. I re-textured them a little because of all the holes and rips. I'm quite pleased with the outcome. It was fun working with my girls. They really liked ripping wallpaper and painting.
