Thanksgiving at Matthew and Emily's

We all arrived at Matthew and Emily's by 1:00 on Wednesday. We started eating and didn't stop. That is the Bounds "tradition". We had a really fun meal of fondue Wednesday evening and of course the Thanksgiving meal was amazing. We are soooooo blessed with the family God has put together for us and we are very thankful for each one of them. We shared what we were thankful for(mom's idea) :) dad learned how to play Wii, I napped then we all went to a movie.

Lots of fun!!!



More eating......



More special times.....







Granddaddy playing Wii.....check out Savannah watching...


Grandchildren are the best!!!!

The flood........



Stan brought a friend over to see our house last Friday and when they went to the basement this is what they found.....














This was the culprit.....an old drain that was not capped off properly. We are so very grateful that it is not a foundation issue. The drain has been fixed and there has been no more water!!!!! Yeah!!!

more pic's

Here is my bathroom before......














Here is my bathroom after.....













It's hard to tell from the pictures but the walls are painted a light baby blue and we installed a new light fixture and put in a recessed cabinet.


Here I go.....



I hope this comes out right....
I am setting this blog up so whoever is interested can see the changes that are taking place in our new home. We feel very blessed to be traveling down this road. We start major renovations on Monday & Tuesday. So far we have finished the master bedroom and bathroom, got new carpet twice in 10 days (crazy story), and fixed a leak in our basement that caused a minor flood (3 times).
