They're little bitty BAD bugs!!!!!

I haven't blogged because it's been pretty rough over here at the "old" new house!!!! We moved in on March 7th.  We have had contractors in the house at least 3 of the last 4 weeks.  Our contractor discovered (about March 11th) that we had some "visitors" in the front room of our house living in the boards and walls.......TERMITES!!!! 
We had to call an exterminator immediately, also, the brick planter had to be busted out in the front of the house (Hallelujah for that, bc I HATED it), but that created more $$$$ bills--- have you ANY IDEA how much termite treatment is???

the wall in the front room was almost completely lost.

Hopefully this week I will be able to post some "after pictures", as we have definitely not been living for the last 4 weeks with a gaping hole in the front room! 

I have gotten a new laptop in the meantime, and have been exploring the "world of blogging," (notice my new pretty template:)......

We had a HAPPY EASTER nonetheless!!

Also, on a very sweet and HAPPY note, our precious blessing from the Lord, our youngest son, Nathan Dean Thouin, celebrated his FIRST Birthday Wednesday, April 14th.

Here are some pictures of him throughout the last year to make you smile!!
