Our New House
This is the fabulous little Jegel home. We moved out of our condo and into my parents for a few weeks while we were in escrow. (We didn't officially get the condo rented until March so, we could have stayed!) I had Jadyn 2 days after Christmas and we replaced carpet and got appliances before we moved in on January 22nd. There's still LOTS to do, but we thought we would post pictures as we go. We still want to paint, change out the dining room chandelier etc... but here it is!

Oh and if you need a great real estate agent Paul from "Cat and Paul" at Kellar Williams is great!

List of things we've done since we moved in:

• New Refrigerator, Washer and Dryer
• New carpet
• Erik got the grass to grow in the backyard, despite a gophers best efforts to eat the whole yard! I included a picture of the little sucker. Erik caught him! Don't worry he didn't kill him; he let him go in the neighbor's yard. j/k
  
  
• Family Room: Built-in bookcase and mantle, new TV, rug, 2 bench ottomans, sectional is on order.
• Kitchen nook table and chairs
• New mattress, bedroom furniture and ceiling fan for Ethan
• New mattress and bedding for us
• Powder Room: Painted, crown molding, chair rail, baseboards and new mirror
• Hardware on all the cabinet doors, paint and new hardware for the front door, new kitchen faucet.

Kitchen: I know it doesn't look like we've done much but we bought the refrigerator, replaced the faucet and added hardware to the cabinets.

Ethan
Ethan got promoted to batray at swimming lessons and he's almost ready to be a duck!
He also got to go to Vacation Bible School with Jessica, Caedmon and Levi all week from 8-12am. He had a great time!

Jadyn

Jadyn is saying "ma ma ma ma" and "da da da da", she sits up by herself and is doing much better with her veggies. Her eyes are still VERY blue, but her hair is turning blond versus the light red she had when she was born.

Hockey

Erik's hockey team finished 2nd in league play and won in the first round of play-offs 3-2 in double overtime. We tell the kids their team name is "The Fighting Chickens" not, "The Fighting Cocks." :)

Erik's 5 Year Anniversary with Atlas Broadband
Erik celebrated his 5 year Anniversary with Atlas Broadband! They are sending us to Kauai in January!!! Erik LOVES Hawaii, I think he would have never come back from our honeymoon in Maui if I didn't tell him we had to get on the plane. Some of you may remember Atlas sent us to Maui a few years back as a thank you to Erik for a project he worked on. How many people can say the company they work for sent them to Maui and Kauai?! THANK YOU ATLAS!
