I wore jammies like Boo… and the hat we made for our late arrival, Mike Wazowski. Isaac was the Yeti, complete with lemon flavored snow cones. Brooke and Jon have much more recognizable costumes for sure. Smile

His Own Timeline

Baby has us all fooled. Or maybe he knows we haven’t decided on his name yet. Or that I just finished decorating his room today. Who knows. In any case, he’s left us hanging for what feels like a very long time now.

I am not as patient as I should be. To keep busy, I have spent the past five days being tested in the hospital (everything seems normal), baking (a pie and several batches of cookies)…

In the meantime, everyone else around here has been putting millions of hours into the house. I know they are doing it to make me happy, and I can’t express how much I appreciate their countless hours of selfless service.

The stairwell and landing have been textured and painted, the baby’s room is nearly done, and the master bath is well on its way. Our house remodel is getting so close to being finished!

Projects in Progress

We tore out two old windows, one of which had seriously bad termite damage and needed lots of reframing. We were SO fortunate to have someone in our stake who is a contractor offer us a big window which had been sitting in his garage for free.

Isaac tore out the old linen cabinets, which didn’t offer very much space. He and my mom built new cabinets and installed them. We still have to do the finish work, but it’s sure nice to have so much more storage!

Now Isaac has been working on ripping out our third (and final!) bathroom. Jon E. and Aiden helped him out this week. Hopefully we can get it all put back together in the next few weeks before getting busy with other things!
