Basement

Work got started on our basement on March 8th.  We are so excited.  We have really outgrown our house and we need the extra space pretty badly.  We are going to have a new family room, 2 bedrooms, and a bathroom.

Things were moving pretty quickly until we got to the drywall.  The guys were supposed to come on a Wed morning, but didn't end up getting to our project until Friday.  That slowed us down a little bit, but overall things are going really well.

This is Jackson's room

Today and Wed. we have guys here doing the mudding and taping.  I think all that is left after that is finish carpentry, paint, and carpet.

Sunny's room

This is the window well outside of Jackson's new room.  It is in the back of the house.  The other two windows are on the sides of the house.

Jackson's window from the inside.  It was hard to take pictures because it is a little dark down there.  There are no lights hooked up right now.

Sunny's window.  She has a ladder in her window well, and we will probably get one for Jackson's room too.

Happy Birthday to Lila

Sweet little LuLu turned six back on March 14th.  She had a wonderful birthday and I have lots of pictures to post.  For now, these will have to do.

I have been trying to get Lila to cut her hair for a few months  She always said, "NO WAY."  She loved her long hair.  I did too, but it was just getting so hard to take care of.  Finally she agreed to trim it and then today at the salon, she decided to just go for it and chop most of it off.

We love it!  IT is so light and I think it will be much easier to take care of.  I think she looks so grown up.
