New Haircut

So, since my move to Omaha, I have been in search of the great haircut. I have tried expensive, really expensive, not expensive at all and finally I think I have found the perfect haircut for me. Her name is Monica and she cut my haircut not in the same technique as Keera and Christina but the finished product is exactly the same. I love my new haircut. I feel like a new me. Tell me what you think of the new 'do....

Windows and Shingles

House update as of Thursday, October 16 at 9:15 a.m. I think siding will go on this next week about Tuesday. We'll keep you posted.

We are trying to get healthy at the Lindberg house. The girls have been on medication for ear infections and sinus crud. They have finished that and we think they may have had a touch of the flu. It has been a rough week for us but we are on the mend. Just praying that I don't get it, as I usually do get whatever the kids have.

We are thankful for our mostly good health and the fact that we have been able to make it through a year without any major problems. It's hard to believe that just a year ago I was as big as a house and so ready for these two little girls to come to live with us.

We have had a lot of changes in the past year but through it all, I know for sure that God is good and generous to his people. I thank you for your interest in our family and in the prayers that you have been sending up for us and Living Grace Lutheran Church.

I hope that God's blessings are poured on you and your families too.

love, lori

Kids

Just a few shots of the kids. Let's see 17 days and counting until their first birthday. WOW! Where has the year gone? A year ago I was laying on the couch watching college football all day on Saturdays. And now, Saturdays consist of blogging, laundry, naps, cleaning, and the list goes on and on. It is a great life!

Don't let the "angel face" fool you. Noah in a moment of sweetness with Rachel. Notice the "shovel scab" on her forehead.
Noah and his funny faces.
Sarah may have a future in prayer ministry.
Look at those two top teeth. She does have more but you can't see them in this picture. She loves to clap too. Maybe she will be a "raise your hands" kind of Lutheran.

Thursday night house update

We have a fully framed house. WOW! Two full days and there is a house where just three days ago there was none.
Picture from the back of our house. We will have a walkout basement that we will finish on our own, with a little help from a very good carpenter I know, down the road. Windows across the back, top to bottom left to right, master bedroom, loft, girls room. Laundry, kitchen sink, sliding door onto the deck, family room. Basement window and sliding door.
It's fun to stand in the house and actually see the view out the windows. This is the view out our family room windows on the back of the house.
Looking from the family room into the kitchen. James is standing at the sliding door that will go out onto the deck. Half wall is an island.
Looking from the kitchen into the family room. James is standing next to where the fireplace will be.
James and Rachel in the master bath.


View out the front window. The piano will go right by this window.

Sorry this picture is blurry. Noah is standing by the window in his bedroom.

Noah took this picture of me in his new bedroom.

That's it for now. We will keep you posted on our progress. Have a great weekend.

with love...

Wednesday night house update

The house was just about done on Wednesday night. We weren't able to get inside to look because the guys were still working but we got some pictures taken.

Grandma and Grandpa came to visit

The granddaughters, as well as all the grandsons love Grandma and Grandpa a lot.



We are so excited to see Grandma and Grandpa.



I just need to rest right here on Grandpa's leg.




Grandma came over last week to spend the day with me and enjoy Noah and the girls. She did a lot of giggling because the girls were all over everything and everywhere. They sure keep me busy.


Don't be looking down my shirt....


Addicted to my paci...




Mom is so wonderful, she always asks if the girls need a bath and helps me with that job. It's a quick thing to do but is so much easier to do with two sets of hands. Here are a couple shots of our "duckies".

Sarah Jane

Rachel Ann


Today, we went to see Dr. Schidler for a "sick baby" check. The girls both have an ear infection and a beginning sinus infection. We got some of the yummy bubblegum amoxicillin that we all took when we were little. They are champs when it comes to taking the medicine. Rachel got hers first tonight and Sarah was standing by watching. I came to Sarah with her syringe and she took out her pacifier and took her meds right down too. They are too cute, even when they are not feeling well.


It's hard to believe that they will be one year olds in three weeks. This year has flown by and I will miss them being babies. I think I will do some "Ahhh, memories" posts these next few weeks before the big birthday (won't that be fun!) Blessingsto you all and we'll keep you posted on the Lindberg goings on.

We Have Walls...

Would you believe we finally have walls up on our house? Framing began today, just a few days later than we originally were told. I was out to check on the progress at noon after picking up Noah from preschool and this is what we saw...
Then I went out again after dinner and we have a first level all framed up and ready for the guys to start on the second floor tomorrow. So exciting.

More pictures tomorrow night.....
