First of all, as most of you know that have read my blog, that the renovation of RNB is in full swing with lots of activity. French doors have gone in, inspector signed off on all the framing and electrical, so drywall is being hung to close up walls. Oh and the big one, our kitchen cabinets are starting to give life to the kitchen space. It is a bit like Humpy Dumpty, watching the pieces being put back together again....
RNB (Rogers n Brachmann) is the name of our new house. It has been a labor of love and patience. For those of you that have remodeled know, it is quite a process. This past week, all new windows were put in replacing the aluminum windows original to the house.
I have recognized certain adult milestones in life. Buying my first new car , appreciating large appliances ( new washer/dryer, or refrigerator) .. now? WINDOWS..... takes being an adult to the next level... I truly had no idea how much the energy and feel of a room changes with replacing windows!

To say the least, much time and energy is being spent making this house become our home. As with most things, I am trying to appreciate each day and the steps that are going into making our RNB to life.
I had written a few weeks ago about a sick bug going through the house. As a mom, I know that you have to allow the sickness go through it's course. Well, I finally decided it was time to take Mitchell in to see the doctor. I thought he might have a sinus infection... Well, to my complete surprise, he has full blown walking pneumonia!
Since the doc wanted him to do a breathing treatment, I went and picked up the little's from school. Jack had been seen a few weeks prior.. I thought MAYBE I should get his lungs checked since I felt a bit guilty about Mitchell being so sick.... Wouldn't you know it! He also had walking pneumonia, just the beginning phase.....
Off we left with prescriptions for Z packs and nebulizer treatments... sheez....Not going to lie, I felt some guilt that I had not taken them earlier... The whole thought process of allowing the sickness to run it's course, kinda backfired.... poor kids... In the rule of 10-10-10 I am crossing my fingers they wont remember this one.... :)
Today I am happy to report, health has returned to the house and boys are starting return to their more normal selves...
The pinky swear I had with Carlos, (see above picture with him being goofy) was for the RNB to be ready Valentines day.... Since life happens,the move into RNB is not happening this weekend..... I remember back to last Valentines's Day, I was wisked away to Santa Barbara by SR. This year is a bit different.... a water polo tournament in Orange County... but we were smart enough to get 2 hotel rooms instead of sharing one! Life happens! The key is to make the best of all situations making memories along the way!
Happy belated Valentine's Day : )
Wishing you all the best,
