Renovation is still moving along...

Shower is installed!

Priming tonight!!


The renovation is moving right along and in a timely manner.  Ray and Ray are wonderful and have put a lot of time and perserverence in this project.  We are priming tonight and painting tomorrow night.  We chose blue for the sea/fish bathroom theme and sunrise yellow for the bedroom...an island/airy retreat feel.  Natasha came home to visit this past weekend and could not believe the amount of work that has been done so far.  She is very excited to call our house, HOME!  We love you Tasha!

Say goodbye to the garage!

Scott has offcially emptied out the garage in preparation for the renovation beginning tomorrow.  As seen in the photo, the front room is her bedroom and the bathroom through the doorway.  An exterior wall with a window will be replacing the garage door.  We will have the floor raised and leveled, new windows, and handicap bathroom fixtures installed.  Ramps will be portable and available for Natasha at the front door and front step.  We are extending our driveway to allow for comfortable and safe loading and unloading of the van.  A sidewalk will be built alongside Natash's room to allow access to the back patio for summer BBQ's!  Shutters will be placed on the windows, along with 2 beautiful flower boxes for Natasha to plant her favorite flowers!  Gavin and Audrey are very excited about this renovation and can't wait to have Natasha here to live!  Our blessings have been answered and our prayers continue to make this transition smooth for everyone.  Like my son keeps singing today, "This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine..."  AMEN!

Bedroom area, bathroom in back room!

History of our new addition, Natasha


Natasha entered our lives about 4 years ago and has been part of it since.  She is from the Philadelphia area, moved to West Chester, and now is coming home to us to live and spend her life. 

She has been diagnosed with CP and will always use a wheelchair for her mobility.  She has touched so many lives and she may not even now it.  Her laughter and quick wit can fill a room.  She is loving, kind, loyal, honest, and a genuine person. 

We want to welcome Natasha to our household and look forward to providing her with love and unity as a family. 
We will post weekly as the renovation is complete.  Please feel free to comment or ask questions.  Please continue to pray for us as a family and that the transition for Natasha is smooth. 
May love continue to grow!
