When we bought our house a couple summers ago, we knew there were projects we’d want to do. Up until last month, we’d done some minor changes: added drapes to my office and the master bedroom, added ceiling fans to the three upstairs bedrooms, changed the ceiling fan in the master bedroom, etc. Nothing major… until now.
Our first major project — hardwood floors!
We knew from the beginning that we would do hardwood floors at some point, and finally decided to go through with it!
Some before and after pictures:

We were given an initial estimate of 3-5 days for installation from the sales person. Amazingly, the installers actually completed it in one day! Due to the dust and smell though, we decided to spend the night at a hotel so that Katie Lynn and Karyn wouldn’t be smelling and breathing the fumes and dust. Who knew we’d find probably the nicest hotel we have ever stayed in (not counting Caesar’s Palace) right here in McKinney!

Since Madison and Lauren were sick on Easter, Easter dinner with my folks had to be postponed until this past weekend. Amazingly though, the Easter Bunny made a special trip to Grandma & Heypa’s house and delivered some Easter eggs! He also brought an Easter basket full of goodies.
