Bean Bytes: Week 22

Week 22 and the bean is the length of a spaghetti squash. I remember when Lacey was pregnant with Connor that I used to be so clueless on what a baby was. Now I am only clueless on what a spaghetti squash is.

Entry Way Facelift

Since the dining room and foyer tie together, it didn't take long for the construction to start. 1/2 and 1/4 walls were removed to give way to a new framed wall that will create a doorway to the living room, a.k.a. 'The Toy Purgatory'.

Once the thermostat and doorbell were moved, framing and wiring finished.

































Drywall is now up and I'm hiring out the finishing. The whole entry way needs new skim coating and patching.





























Bean Bytes: Week 21

The little guy continues to grow and prepare for 'Operation: Big Brother Domination'! At week 21, future Lauchard is measuring at 23 weeks. 'Slow down little doggie', says Connor or as he's known in these parts Mr. Twelve Months Waistline.

Bean Bytes: Week 20

20 weeks and still growing. All news came back positive, so everything is on track!

From Ryan: I just read this post and realized...I meant the baby was still growing...not my Lacey!

Balloon Fun

Ignore the crazy laughter...Connor seemed to like it, so I did it...a lot.

Peanut Post: Picking Birthday Presents

Dining Room Redo - Almost Done

We still need baseboards and new windows, but we are close to finishing another room. I tried a new style by adding some molding to the walls. We like the way it turned out.

















Peanut Post: I Got New Momo-Cycles!

Since I was so good, Dad got me a surprise for after my nap on Sunday. Hot Wheels motorcycles. You put them in a wind up track, press the button and they zoom off. I LOVE them!

Saturday Night is Pizza/Country Night!

Turn a little Willie Nelson, and Waylon Jennings on...make some dough...and BOOM family night!

Saturday was a good day, did some new work on the house...fixed some mistakes previously made and then relax during a night of rain and hanging with Connor.

















































Friday Night Festival with the Neighbors

Connor went to his second straight St. Brendan Festival. Last year, all he could do was sit and look, but this year Connor packed up his courage and went all out!

First there were trains:

(the start was really fast, WHOA!)












































Then there were cars:


































And most unbelievably....HELICOPTORS:









(Connor is the passenger)
