So, as of today our little angel is officially one week overdue and seems perfectly content to hang out in there as long as possible. My parents came out to State Center last Thursday evening, and are planning on being here until the baby decides to show up or the doctor says it's time to induce- whichever comes first. To pass the time we have been working on our basement renovation for the "man room" and extra bedroom. The great thing about the tardiness of the baby, is that we have gotten A LOT of work done that we didn't think would happen until after birth. In a week, texture has gone up on the walls and ceilings, doors are being installed into door frames, paint is up on the walls of both rooms, cabinets for the bar have been stained and varnished, and lights/outlets are getting hooked up and plated.
Today, we're hoping to get the tile laid for the bar floor so that it can cure and grout can go in on Friday, and also would like to get casings for the doors and windows stained/varnished and installed by the weekend.
Here are some pics from working and playing the last several days:
Dad installing the door frame for the French doors into the man room- they are going to look SO great!
Mom and Amanda painting in the bedroom where Amanda will keep her stuff while she lives with us. I chose a lighter gray, and I'm not sure what it is about those types of paint colors but they always turn out a little too purple-y. The same thing happened with the gray paint in our bedroom. Hmmm.....
My parents' dog, Guapo (for those not up on Spanish language, it means handsome- he has these ice blue eyes that are so pretty). It was really hot this day that we were working and so we brought the dogs into the basement where it was cooler. He found this pile of rollers and decided it was nap time!
Matt and Mollythe 4th of July- a very grainy picture, my apologies. Jerod says that after he buys his TV with his Biolife money, he'll save up for a new camera for me, YAY!
My littlest brother, Gabriel, hamming it up for the camera as usual. I guess some things will never change :)
