News and Updates
We've had a lot going on the last little while. Here are some of the highlights...
We've hired contractors to come in and finish our basement. The work starts Monday! We're doing a full-finish with a living area (with gas fireplace), bathroom (with custom shower) and laundry room. We're also getting some custom millwork done (entertainment unit, and built in shelves in the bathroom). I can't wait to see it all come together. We hired Sticks and Stones to do the design. We've had to change a couple of things since their first design but overall getting a designer early on really helped us decide what we wanted.
In preparation for this major project, I've been spending all of my days and some of my nights trying to clear out the basement. YUCK! We should be completely done today though so at least I'll have one day to relax before starting my NEW JOB!
I start working at Karo tomorrow! I'm really looking forward to the change.
Molly is doing well. I took her into the doctor again this week because she still has a rattly cough and is wheezing a bit. Turns out it's probably bronchitis brought on by the croup. They're just going to let it run its course though since she's in great spirits, sleeping and eating well.
Molly's language is really coming along. She seems to have so many words in her head right now that she just has to let them out in a constant stream. From the moment she wakes up its "blanket, baby, sleep sac, couch, TV, fishies, fan, diaper..." basically anything she sees or thinks about gets named in no particular order.
We're also starting to toilet train Molly...or more accurately, she's showing an interest in potty training so we're going with it. She really seems to like the idea but hasn't had any success yet. In fact we had one 'code brown' this week...YUCK is all I'm going to say about that.
Noel was away in Edmonton for work this week. He's still got a cough too. But I think this house of plague is finally on the mend.
We finally heard back from Westjet that they are NOT going to replace our cameras that were stolen from our luggage after it was check in. And I don't think we're going to bother going through our insurance at this point. So no photos for a while. I might try to get my digital camera back from my parents at Thanksgiving so we're not totally without a camera but we'll see.
