The Final Count Down!

It is getting to be the final countdown for a number of things: the completion of the house, the completion of my pregnancy, Minnesota vacation, the start of football and the start of another school year! Needless to say, there is a lot going on in the Urbanek house right now! Joe and his dad are winding down on the house, or I should say gearing up for the final push to complete it before our new little boy joins the world! They are mainly working on finishing stuff now like trim, doors, railings and the like. They have worked so hard this past YEAR and it is great to see what they have accomplished! I am now 32 weeks along and getting a bit nervous since Drew made his entry a bit early at 34 weeks! Everything seems to be going well, so hopefully I'll make it a bit farther this time! Here are some pictures which are now a bit out dated (of the house anyway) because they are making so much progress. We get kitchen cabinets tomorrow and appliances on Friday. Enjoy!Drew with one of the diggers in the back yard. These are his absolute favorite. If you ask him, it is an excavator!
We went to the balloon races in Ottumwa a couple of weeks ago and Drew got the chance to try out some of the rides. He loved them ALL!

This is the new floor looking into the kitchen/dining area from the front door.

The beautiful vaulted ceiling, I still don't know how they did it!

This is looking into the loft room from the front door. It now has the posts for the railings up and probably the spindles by the end of the week!
