Best buds

 These two crack me up! Mason totally looks up to Trace and loves to play and be with him. Trace is like the Mason tamer and can get Mason to calm down or do things I can't get him to do. They just love eachother!! The top pic they both have scratches on their noses that they each gave eachother. Trace hit Mason with a dirt "ball" from the new house...on "accident" and mason hit Trace with a stick...not sure if that one was an accident ;)

Here they are at Cafe Rio...Trace just took Mason to the restroom and they "did their hair" while they were in there....Brothers!! Love it!

It's coming together!

So, it is looking more and more fantastic!! I am getting anxious to get appliances in to see the whole picture, but I love the faucet and crown molding...colors and everything! If our electrician can get things wrapped up and the carpet can get installed we will be almost ready to move in! The countdown is on, we have one month from today until our baby is due! Keep your fingers crossed!!

The Bar

Today we got to check off a big item from our "list to do"...the BAR! Here are a few pics that show how it has evolved these last few months...

We did a zinc bar top...and had to learn some new skills to finish it. Justin learned some fun things about soldering from some good friends and neighbors (Brent and Derik R.-Many thanks to them too!!)

 Once the corners and seems were soldered, we applied a patina to "age" it, along with a few added dings for character and here is our end result:

 Thanks so much to Justin for making it happen!! He did a lot of things that I couldn't/shouldn't do because of the baby...And it looks beautiful because of him!!! Love you honey!
