So Long Chateau...

Some of you may know, that my goal (crazy or not) is to have the nursery completely done by Thanksgiving. My thought process being that Thanksgiving and Christmas are basically one giant blur, and that by the time January 1 rolls around, February 22nd will practically be here, and I will probably be big as a house! So, on Saturday, Andy and I started in...




Currently, well, until last friday, our guest bedroom was lovingly referred to as "The Chateau", our own little guest oasis for the many folks that travel great distances to be entertained and to relax on the Schaecher Estate. Okay, maybe that is a bit of an exageration, because really, it was just our friends Katie & Cameron that would come from Portland for long weekends of The Office marathons, french toast, and costco trips, and trust me, this place is pretty far from what I would consider an "estate"! Anyway, back to the story. But, our most heartfelt appologies to K&C, your oasis has been moved upstairs to the lodge.




So, on Saturday, Andy and I dismantled The Chateau, and prepared for what would be 7 long, knee torturing, brain taxing hours of putting together 4 pieces of baby furniture.







Victory!! Well...over the first 2 of 4 pieces!!






Now isn't that the cutest thing you've ever seen??
So, at about 8:30 Saturday night, we finished!! I can't say we were both happy campers, but at least we were done! Our next step in this glorious process is to refinish a rocking chair...well, I say "our", really it is Andy's, as he has refused to let me come within 25 feet of anything that may or may not be malodorous....I'll keep you posted on that project as well, as it is sure to produce some great pictures, probably primarily of Andy's growling face :)
Until next time!

Thanks For Stopping!



Hello Blogland!


At the urging of my inner-nag, I have decided to start a blog to keep our family and friends up-to-date on the goings on of the Schaecher Household, and the activities surrounding the anticipated arrival of Andy Junior (don't get excited now, we aren't naming him Andy...)! Hopefully I will be on top of things enough to keep this regularly updated, but if I don't, kindly give me a kick in the rear so I don't become one of those annoying bloggers who never updates and then wonders "why doesn't anyone read my blog?".




At any rate, thanks for stopping by, come again soon!
