Thank you Lohrmanns!

Last Saturday, (the 23rd), the Lohrmanns (minus Uncle Mark and Kevin), came up to our new house and spent a day of hard work. They got a lot down, James pulled up all the carpet in the bedrooms upstairs. YAY! Sarah scraped a lot of glue off of the walls in the upstairs bathroom, and Aunt Eileen sanded the trim and patches in the living room, dinning room, and kitchen! John Paul, Cecilia and I went over as well to help. John Paul and Ryon spent the day in the backyard, and made a huge fort. And Cecilia played with Julia all day. (I was scraping glue with Sarah).

Here are some pictures:


Rose was very eager to help water the flowers. She did a wonderful job!

The hole for my window well: Chris McDonnell has been coming over to help, and he is the one who dug all that!


Our new front door, do you like it?



Aunt Eileen sanding: (beautiful as always!)

The bathroom, sadly I didn't get a picture of Sarah working, but believe me, she was a HUGE help!
