We are loving homeownership!

Really? No, not lately. A few weeks ago, we decided to finally paint the laundry room and put up all the fantastic storage that we planned to put up months ago. However, as soon as Phil moved the washer out, we found black mold growing in the baseboard behind the machine. Thankfully, the moisture and mold were contained to a small area! Of course, small area doesn't mean it didn't turn into a home improvement black hole. Now, 3 weeks later, we have came to the conclusion that the problem is our washing machine! So, this weekend we are off to find a new one!

If that were our only recent stumble, things would be fine, but part of the reason resolving the laundry room issue has taken so long, is that we had a roof leak last weekend! Thankfully, that was also a fairly quick fix, only taking one day and the help of a couple really good friends.

Needless to say, the last few weeks our house has been causing us more stress than we would like . However, I am extremely thankful that all of this is happening while Phil is home.

Besides desperately trying to keep our house together, we are preparing for a fun Grandparent filled Thanksgiving! We are hosting all 4 of Nora's grandparents this year for a weekend of good food and "Nora-spoiling". It will be an adventure!

Nora had a few friends over for Halloween trick or treating last month....she surprisingly, really got into it! By the end of the night she was really attached to the pretty candy :) here is the photo evidence:
