Michael & Liz are Bloggable

To say that Liz's Dad is handy around the house, is an understatement. More accurately, if given the time and the tools, he could probably build a house by himself. He and Liz's Mom were in town this week and he put his skills to use on our house / car.

One of the first things he did was replace Liz's brakes and rotors in her car. I would have loved to have seen him do it, but I had to work earlier in the week and we only had so much time later on in the week.

Then Thursday, we spent most of the day wiring our 2nd and 3rd bedrooms to install ceiling fans. This was very interesting to see because working with electricity is something I am terrified of. Voltage and watts and amps oh my. But we got it done, and then on Friday we installed the ceiling fans.

Both rooms have 3 switches on the wall. The left is for an outlet on the other side of the room, the middle is for the fan, and the right is for the light in the fan. Pretty awesome.

And then, because we hated our fan downstairs, we got a new fan for the sweet room to match the coffee table and entertainment center we bought this Summer.


But what takes the cake is what they brought us as a gift for the baby's room. A changing table!! Check out the wood work. It's pretty freakin' awesome. I hope someday I can make something that looks this good!!


The front knobs are little elephants. You can also see the color of our baby's room. It's a light turquoise color we picked out before we knew the sex of the baby. The changing table is one shade darker to match. The excellent paint job was done by Liz's Mom.


Look at the details on the side!


Liz and her mom bought little brown baskets for the slots in the front.


The puppies are too cute (and so good with the "stay" command). They have no idea what's coming though. We are just waiting for Gryffin to lay next to Liz's belly and get kicked by the baby inside. Should be hilarious.
