We are officially moving out of our beach house at the end of the month. Whether or not we will actually have a house to move in to is up for debate at this point...
New garage door, and after it got installed Jason called on his way home from work saying he "Had to drive by and see his new baby" of course I thought he meant Scarlett. :) True story.
A lot has happened since my last house update but here are some of the highlights. The above picture is taken during the rainstorm we had a few weeks ago after Jaxon fell/purposefully walked straight in to it waist deep. This was formerly a koi pond and since it had a concrete liner it quickly filled up. That helped us decide that we wanted to take all the rocks out of the backyard. That led to...

And one happy bobcat driver
Rockless and level, we are ready for Smithy to come back to put a lawn in. (Hint, Hint!)
It is a pretty big backyard, by Southern California standards at least.
Last weekend's project was taking the face off of this fireplace so we could replace it. Or so we thought. Then we got a better look at the horrible condition the fireplace was put together to begin with. It would have never passed inspection and we would have had to rebuild the whole thing. So....
This ended up being the best option somehow.
We will just wall it off. There is another fireplace in the living room anyway.
Here you can see Scarlett's stroller in the yard. It is always carefully positioned so she is as far away as possible from the noise, dust, and overall demolition that is going on that day.
Don't worry, she still gets plenty of attention. Actually, when we are working at the house no matter what time of day it is, she manages to sleep almost the entire time!
We are on to her though, she just knows that if she wakes up, we will put her to work!
