We moved in!!

So, I am a failure, I don't have a picture of the finished product...yet.   I have this sorta finished/ half painted picture from our contractor's website...that is why it is blurry. I will get a better photo after the driveway is paved this week.  Trust me, the house looks amazing now that it is all painted and the details outside and inside are finished.  We moved in Labor Day weekend and have loved every minute of it!

Our breakfast nook. Seriously huge. We have fit 12 people around it already.  There are 4 storage drawers under the bench. 

This is a shot of the entry area

THE fireplace. Right behind the two doors to the left and right of the fireplace is the kids play room, and stairs going up! Double doors to the right are Ty's office and the brown cupboards to the left is a window seat.

Our kitchen. Above is the wide view and below is a close up. Can you see the drinking fountain? We love that feature as well as the touch faucets! Tyson loves the griddle on the stove top and has made breakfast or dinner probably three times a week. SO WORTH IT! Since the picture was taken (before we moved in) the back splash above the stove has been finished and the pot filler has been put in.

So far we love being here.

my prize is better than yours

I've heard that you can get prizes in your cereal box...but boy did I get the cutest one EVER!!

10 days already

So, here she is!! Already 10 days old.  

We called in to the hospital on August 1 at 4:30 am to see if they had an opening for me to be induced. Labor and delivery shafted us and told us to wait until they could clear out a few rooms from a busy night.  We waited very impatiently but received the call around 8:30 am. We left right away and were checked in and had the pitocin started by 10:00 am. Labor went as expected and Olivia was born at 4:37 pm. The hospital was so busy that they sent us up to pediatrics to recover. That night Olivia had her first BM, which was a pretty exciting moment for us considering what happened with Jeshua.  They usually want to keep babies a full 24 hours but because of the full moon they had SO many deliveries (some women delivering in the hallway) they were begging us to leave. We were home by 2 that afternoon. WE love baby Olivia and are so happy that she is healthy and in our family!!

Welcome Olivia!!

We wanted to let you all know that we welcomed miss Olivia Dawn to our family yesterday afternoon. She is a doll and we love her so much already. As we are still exhausted, I will share our story later and just give a few details and pictures right now.

An announcement

Well, The house is coming a long wonderfully and we are all excited to see the progress being made. If you want to see pictures, you will have to visit the facebook page for our house (ran by our construction company). http://www.facebook.com/pages/Frantz-Family-Home/157517207671528

But for our big announcement.... We are having another baby! We are 13 weeks along now and are excited to add the last installment of our little Frantz Family. We are due August 6th, and we are crossing our fingers that the house will be ready to welcome this little Frantz.
I am doing pretty well with this pregnancy, still sick like always, but I am able to function and get the kids to school and wipe bums and change diapers, ALL big accomplishments! I am hoping that the barfs will be gone soon and I can enjoy the rest of the time growing our baby.
In other news, Jesh turned 1!! I will have to post pictures of the little guy. He is still cautious about walking but will take off every now and then.  I will post later about Jesh!
