Moving right along… It’s been our first full week without our contractor at the house full time. We’re getting a ton of stuff …
We got our a$$es handed to us a week ago, but somehow ended up with a new painter, electricity in the kitchen, and cake!
Our contractors, Andrew and Dillon, and have been slashing to-dos off their list almost as quickly as we’ve been piling them on.
![We spent most of Mother's Day cleaning and setting up furniture at Charlotte House, and Jim surprised Jack with this Renovation-style "arrangement," complete with a paint bucket "vase" he found in the utility room 😂
We've been building a foundation for our family for quite some time now. Between buying and renovating this crazy house, experiencing the birth - and loss - of children, and figuring out how to maintain our careers, mortgages, and a mild level of sanity, we've certainly had our share of ups and downs over the last few years.
Later today we'll be taking some family pictures and decided there's no better place to document what life currently looks like for us than right here at Charlotte House. This space reflects years of patience, frustration, and laughter for us, and as we get ready to officially move in over the next few weeks, every piece of furniture, rug, and light fixture that goes in makes it feel more like "us."
We know Ms. Charlotte has played an important part in the lives of a LOT of people, and it's been such a fun experience to hear from all those folks who appreciate her. We're happy to share how she's doing with all of you and hope you'll keep following along with us on our journey.
Most importantly, we are so grateful to have climbed this mountain together and created a space for our family to grow and thrive. It's almost time to settle in, enjoy our efforts, and finally call this place Home 🤗
