Update




We've been here about one month now. It's starting to feel like home. We accepted a bid for our basement to be finished. They are working on it today. The insulation is going in. I am so excited to have twice the house we have right now. It's going to have a wall of shelves and bookcases and a wet bar. Under the stairs will be a small play space. It has a small door and window, the light switch is down low for small people. But it is a small space. I first thought it would be the place to keep all the toys, but now I think it will be the place they will take their toys to play.
I can't decide where to hang all my pictures. It is a daunting task. I am kind of persnicketty about where and how pictures are hung, so they may not be going up in the super-near future.
Eva is growing like a weed. She crawls and pulls herself up to standing and moves around the furniture. She has just two teeth and loves candy. Of course I don't give her much of it, but she like to suck on licorice and bits of jelly beans. She is the smiliest baby! She is really happy, but only when I am holding her. Any other time, she wails and complains like she's been abandoned. Even with Daddy, sometimes.

Nice family picture. Glad to see that you are getting your basement done, and so soon after moving in. Congrats! I am watching my grandkids this week while Kacy and Jake are in Hawaii. She's taking engagement pictures for Jake's best friend, and they got a trip to Hawaii out of it!! Lucky people. Love you much.

What a beautiful family you have! Everyone has grown so old- except for you of course- you look just as young as when I saw you last!

The new basement sounds great- especially that someone else will be doing it for you! I am sure the kids will love having their own little hideout under the stairs.
