the maiden blog

Here is the historic first blog from the Rietz clan. More as a response to a challenge from Brandon that "even a mom can do it", but also thinking it may be fun to keep a running record of our family, we'll give it a go and see where it takes us. (How is the title, Brandon?)

We can report with smiles on our faces that the remodel inside is about as finished as its going to be. We still have to wait for the weather to be more consistently warm for the outside to be painted. Inside though, we are moved into our new bedroom and the younger kids will be all moved in by the end of this week. More painting seems to be in my future, as I have to paint Trevor's new room this week. No purple walls for him. :-)
It has been several weeks since we have had the builders here on a consistent basis, so it's nice to have the house to myself during the day.

We had spring break this past week. We did sneak in a trip to Walla Walla for a night, but most of the week was spent moving beds, de-junking, and getting things rearranged in the addition. Its like moving without actually moving.

No photos this week. We want to take this one step at a time. That way no one will get hurt! :-)
