Hello All! Thanks for the regular blog checkers out there (that's for you Doug!) and sorry as well because things have been KRAZ to say the least and I've been slackin'.
1. We are now into week #4 on the bathroom, the saga continues
2. We spent the evening in the Emergency Room yesterday with Jodi - 4 stitches on her bottom lip from a run in with a fireplace (more to follow)
3. I don't have any energy because I'm trying to keep 2 little girls noses clean while keeping from puking due to morning sickness (yup #3 will join us in October!)
4. Eric has had a baseball game every day but Sunday for the past 2 weeks
5. Its a good thing I'm sitting because I'm getting dizzy just writing this
6. We love you all and hope everyone is well! xoxoxo ~the 1/2ners

Desperation, Frustration and Jubilation
Our bathroom - an opportunity for learning.
1. Desperation - Eric was supposed to be drilling a hole to the outside for the vent fan when he told me he felt like a male praying mantis, he was digging a hole for his wife and it was going to kill him. (the power tools were giving him a bit of trouble)
2. Frustration - trying to hang drywall with 2 munchkins running around, climbing up stepladders (that would be Cora) and having blizzard weather so the girls couldn't be shooed outside
3. Jubilation - the emotion we will feel when the bathroom is all put back together and how we feel when we walk in to a bathroom that has 4 walls again with drywall hung and mudded, even my tiny little linen closet ready to be filled. The whole thing will just be joyous when we have our new bathroom! (and when we look back over the process rather than being dirty and stuck in the middle!)

I got ahead of myself
Okay so here are some pictures of what the bathroom looked like before we had fun demolishing. (I actually ran out of battery in the digital camera so the "demo" pix are taken with the 35mm and we'll have to scan those in when they get developed) I had more but of course now that I want to blog them they are lost in a file somewhere. Aarrggh!
Bye Bye Bathroom!
YAHOO OUR BATHROOM IS GETTING REMODELED!
I think we are just a bit excited about this week, (tired at the same time though!) because we are remodeling our bathroom. I will try to keep pictures coming so you can all see what we are learning as we do it. So far the demolition has been soooooo much fun. There is just something so exhilerating about taking a hammer and SMASHING the ceiling and walls, ripping out lathe boards, and taking a power saw and cutting ceiling boards down. How much fun is that?
