An unexpected souvenir

Well, it's fall again, and now that we've recovered financially, physically, and mentally from the last trip in May, we're ready to get back over there again and keep plugging away. Only problem is, I came back from France with a little souvenir...baby #2 is due in January, so for the time being, I'm grounded.

The trip over there in May was very productive though (in terms of renovation, not just baby making). We managed to get the whole house painted, mostly furnished, and the third floor bathroom started. We've been trying for months to get a contractor to finish it up for us, but progress is soooo sloooow. Even getting a devis seems to take weeks. So, here are some of the latest photos. Hopefully it'll all be complete by next Spring and we can head over with the boys to finally enjoy the house without a massive work list to accomplish.
