The Gutting Has Begun

There is some progress! Jeff, mama, daddy and I went roaming around to see results of the gutting. Everything is a mess and ready to be rebuilt into a beauty. They made me wear a mask to keep me and Lindy Jack safe from any crazy things that might be roaming around in the air there. I can't wait to see what everything will look like especially that old garage in the last picture.

Our New House

This will be our home! It is located in a historic neighborhood in Birmingham (Homewood). We are so excited about it. I will say at this point it is a total dump. There is a lot to be done. You can follow the progress here on my blog. I am gonna do my best to update the progress. The first thing that had to be done was cut down some trees. I know this was very hard to see happen, but a lot of them were dead and it really improved the appearance of the yard.

This is the living room. It is huge which will be a big change from the tiny living room space we have now. I really love the high ceilings.

This is a breakfast nook area. It is an octagon shaped room off of the kitchen. It is gonna be so cute when all done.

This is Daddy standing in the attic which will become two bedrooms with a Jack and Jill bath and maybe eventually a play room.

Here I am. Stay tuned you don't want to miss this.

Pregnancy Photos

My friend Anette took some wonderful pregnancy photos of Jeff and I. You can check out her blog at www.anetteballphotography.com/blog Here are a few of them:

Lindy Jack's Room

The baby's room is starting to come together. Finally got the crib and rug. I haven't put all the pictures on the walls yet, I'm still waiting on a couple from friends. Oh and see that sweet cat on the floor? Yeah well that is Sunday and she thinks we put this room together for her.

My Growing Belly

Baby Smith

I figured I would update my blog since it has been awhile. I am 29 weeks pregnant and expecting a boy! His name will be Lyndel Jackson Smith. We are so excited. We finally started working on the nursery. I wasn't sure about the color at first, but I really like it now. As you can see from the picture below, Sunday thinks that chest was put there for her to have daily access to the window. We are still waiting on the crib and the changer, but hopefully it is coming in next week. Jeff and I put the bassinet together today.. it was fairly easy and I think it is just so sweet.

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween everyone! We enjoyed the festivities a day early at a fundraiser for the leukemia/lymphoma society. Yes that is me below as Pippi Longstocking. I think I made a pretty cute Pippi. I can't believe I had never thought about being her before. It was a suggestion from my sister-in-law. Friends Michelle and Kali as a sexy witch and a go-go dancer.

My fabulous brother and sister in laws. Jay was Patrick Bateman from American Psycho and Heidi as She-Ra Princess of Power. She had a great costume and handmade the entire thing.

Then there is Jeffrey. He was dressed at Jim Jones the cult leader during the 70s. His sister picked out his costume and it was so funny because nobody knew who he was. One person thought he was Harry Potter and another thought he was the Kool-Aide Graduation guy. He was like "thanks Heidi you dressed me up as Harry Potter!"
