Beautiful new doors to hide the mess!

Remember this??

Then the walls went up...

And now I have doors!!

View from other side.

Closet door open, showing cabinet (and the water heater is behind it). Furnace hidden behind other door.

Momma is very happy today. Just have to do a little more touchup painting...

Frühling - spring

Going for a walk with Daddy - spazieren mit Daddy

Sonja - 5.5 months (5.5 Monate)

Let me out!!! Lass mich raus!!!

Ich will raus von diesem Ding! Let me out of this thing!

Viel besser. Much better.

Progress...sort of

Closet doors - check



Office furniture moved in - started

Sitting! Sitzen!

I finally figured it out. I have to balance my head, and use my arms, and I still need a pillow...the world looks different somehow.

Endlich kann ich sitzen...das heisst, ich bin am probieren. Mein Kopf ist ein bischen schwer, und ich muss mit den Armen balacieren, aber es geht schon ganz gut!

Watching demolition next door

Benjamin's art - Benjamins Zeichnung

I drew all the circles, and mommy helped make cars.
Ich han alle Rundumul zeichnet, unds Mami hat mer Auto zeichnet.

Floors, and trim, and carpets...

How did I get from this...

...to this again???


But at least the little green bedroom which had no trim or floor...

Now has trim around the window, and on top of the new carpet!!
