A Garage Door - Who Knew?

So, we had a household repair need this week, which completely did not fit into our budget this month, but when you can't park inside your garage and you were lucky to be able to get your cars OUT, it quickly became a need that just had to happen.

And who knew getting a new garage could be so exciting???

We have been talking about getting it replaced for several months now and just never seemed to have the extra money to do it - or found other ways to use it when we did! Anyway, we were fortunate to have a quote from March from Cameron with Accurate Garage Door Service (yeah, a little shout out!!) that was still valid. We called him on Monday, he got back to us on Tuesday and was here to install our new door first thing Wednesday morning. He did a fantastic job and we are just so pleased with the new door!

It not only helps the aesthetic look of the house, but we also finally have an opener from the outside that was so needed!! I always worried about locking ourselves out of the house, but now (as long as we have power) we can get in through the keypad!
I finally remembered to take a before picture of our old rotting door (that was also now broken and wouldn't open)



And here is the new and improved door!



And really, as exciting as a new garage door is, what fun is a post without a bit of cuteness? Here are the two little buddies this morning. Hannah was reading to him before they got dressed this morning. She just adores her little brother!



And here he is tonight in all his diaper-butt cuteness hanging out on a blanket playing with his toys!
