Well, first let's thank Tyler's brother, Andy.
(Chorus: Thank you, Andy dear!)
Why are we thanking Andy today? Well, we went from this
To this
He works for K Designers and sells top-of-the-line windows, doors, and siding. Now, we have the NICEST windows in the neighborhood (really, they're the rolls royce of windows).
Unfortunately, it just accents how much work the rest of the outside of our house needs! (Which this picture doesn't really show, but I couldn't get a good pict of the parts that need work, since it's raining and I'm a pansy). Just picture cracked and peeling paint in the off-white "wood" of the house. Large, dark cracks in the paint. Really, lovely.
Nice:
New Windows!
Not so nice:
The rest of the exterior of our house! The clean, sharp beauty of the windows is a sharp contrast to the weather-beaten, off-white, cracked and dirty fake vertical wood siding. I feel bad for the pretty windows on the beat up house!
Nice:
The wonderful energy efficiency of the windows!
Not so nice:
We still need to add some insulation to our R-10 value attic (about 1/4 the amount recommended in our area).
Nice: A more comfortable home!
Not nice: We still have blazing hot summers and freezing cold winters. He couldn't fix that!
Nice: Sheridan and Jack like to play with each other
Not so nice: Sometimes, they like to play "push all of mommy's buttons". This game involves one getting into something, me removing kid one only to find kid two into something worse. Or, kid one starts some horrific behavior, is berated for it, and is promptly copied by kid two. Actually, they usually do all that at once, plus throw a temper tantrum in the middle.
Nice: Our next kid is due December 9th.
Not so nice: We'll be on zone defense from here on out.
Nice: A brother like Andy
Not so nice: Not having 10 more like him in various jobs (doctor, lawyer, general contractor, sprinkler installer, accountant, and car salesman, just to name a few!).
Ok, ok, so we like our other brothers just as much....but this is our little Ode to Andy and our Windows 2008 successful download!

The new windows look great!! I love the little detail on it. Oh and congrats on Dec. 9th!! Such exciting news....
Your windows looks great! I can't wait to come see them in person once Tyler's done with his test.
I love the new look of your site too! Everything is getting a make over. Yay!
I also love the non-chalant way you added that you're pregnant. I laughed! :)
Totally cool windows. The rest of the house will catch up in time, I have no doubt. You guys are awesome fixer-uppers. Good luck with the rugrats. Hope the pregnancy's going well! Got an ultrasound date yet?
Yay, we are pregnant together again! And your windows look oh so fabulous. Good work!
Congrats on your new windows and all of the other "nice" things going on right now. Hopefully those not so nice things will turn themselves around soon. Hooray for baby #3!
Yeah for the house and the number 3 on the way - congrats!!!
Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! I'm excited for you and jealous of your windows.
Congrats on baby #3! Nice windows too. Hope you are feeling well!
congrats on #3, I hope it is born on Dec 8th, because that is my birthday, then maybe you could name it after me :)
Congrats on the new windows! (And I guess, the new pregnancy.) Hee, hee! I'm starting to get a little nervous, but if you just call it zone defense . . . somehow that makes it better. I mean, even though you are outnumbered, you're still taller, right? (For now?)
Yeah for baby#3!!! The house is looking great, can't wait to see it in person...someday.
Congrats! On the windows and the pregnancy!
Congrats on the new baby!!! (And the windows, they look really nice)
