Baby Gibson

Now that I have been practicing my blogging skills onto the real reason for the blog.  We are expecting a baby girl!! She is due December 14th. The blog will be devoted to updated pictures of her.  I am hoping it will be the easiest way to keep a digital scrapbook for everyone to see without inundating your email inbox or Facebook activity feed.

July 22, 2012. Baby Girl Gibson 1/2 baked!

Celebration at BVI

In Celebration of Curtis Graduation it was time for a vacation. Of course we went to Curtis' favorite vacation spot and Kara's new favorite place. The British Virgin Islands.
Leaving the US, St. Thomas, on a ferry to pick up the boat.

The House

So I/we are starting a blog......something new. Kara is starting it but is hoping that Curtis will grow an interest.  But my one question about a blogging is where do you start? We have had so many exciting things happen in the last year and a half that I am going back track just a little to bring everyone up to speed and then continue moving full force ahead.
Here we go!! March 2011, we bought our 1st house. Mr. Wichita Real Estate and Researcher found a great deal (just what we were looking for) and it only have a few rooms with wall paper border but nothing that we couldn't handle. Here's the before and after photos of the projects we have been working on for the past 16 months.
Before the Gibson's....watch out here we come!
