Happy Easter!

Happy Easter to all!

We have completed our remodel 95% so a few last minute painting touch ups and some dusting before moving some furniture back in and life will be back to "normal" whatever that is!

Easter Bunny has come to our house (hope he came to yours too!) and we are in taking a break from the Easter egg hunt and eating some breakfast. Will upload pictures later this morning!

Again, I wish all a wonderful Easter. The weather is beautiful! Life is great!

Love,
Baumgartner Family

Well, we have taken on the project of remodeling our living room! We originally had intended on adding lights to the ceiling which added holes to the walls which pushed us to skim coat the walls and make them smooth instead of textured like they were! We had last weekend and then Trev has had a few hours each night to do a few things here and there while the kids were sleeping. Hoping to get another big weekend and then be done (might be wishful thinking!)! We might be doing some refinishing of the floors too but we will see!!!! Starting to look nice and the colors I have picked out are so NICE! It makes me so happy to see the samples! I have to see what they look like on the wall!

Nilla has moved up to the next level of gymnastics (beginning progression) and she is doing so well! It is much more independent and seems as though she is progressing with leaps and bounds! I love to watch all of the new things she is able to do. Definitely something I will keep her in for as long as she lets me! Nilla is also getting closer to having her first dance recital. We are so excited to see her on the West stage!

Cecillia is still in gymnastics and is now going when Nilla is at school instead of them going together. That was a change for her since we were used to having gymnastics together. As always she has transitioned well. Another big event for Cecillia is wearing BIG GIRL UNDIES! She does a great job of going on the potty and even is dry after a full nights sleep (sometimes)! We still have to work on the #2's in the potty but we are getting there! It will be wonderful to have both girls out of diapers before we get #3 in diapers!

Baby B#3 is growing and moving around like crazy! I am currently at 31+ weeks and had my doctor appointment today and all is well. Baby is head down and the heart rate was around 150. I will be going every 2 weeks now until I get to 36 weeks and then go weekly. Time is sure flying by!

Baby has cooperated as much as it can with the remodeling! I have been trying to get as much deep cleaning done as much as possible before baby comes! I have the girls playroom cleaned out and am working on cleaning the carpets! I have purged TONS of toys and hope to have a garage sale to make some money on those toys! I guess this is what you call NESTING!!! Once we get this remodel done we will have a pretty clean house (after we get the Sheetrock dust cleaned up!!)

Thank you for checking in! With our house being upside down at the moment it hasn't been easy to update but can't wait to update again! Will be posting pictures of the remodel soon!
