Progress, I promise II

Well we have had lots of fun the last several weeks with the hot water heater problems and the pipe bursting - life would be no fun without some curve balls (that's what I tell myself).  Oh yeah, and we have a baby coming in seven weeks and house guests in one week.

We are SLOWLY getting things back in order with some progress this weekend.  We managed to find a used glider chair out in Fairfax and our buddy Steve was kind enough to let me use his truck to go pick it up.  Mission success - got a great chair for a very reasonable price.  (It needs new slipcover though... Susann does not love the yellow).

Next job was a MAJOR purge of the basement storage room.  There a lot of stuff in there from the previous owners - mostly painting stuff - that is now gone. 

Then my mission today was to put the changing table together - after a couple missteps (they looked like the right screws) I got that taken care of and I have to say it looks pretty nice.  I saved the crib for tomorrow .  I have to pace myself.

While I am making some progress we are struggling a little with the home repairs.  We hope to have those done by Thursday of this week because we have house guests coming in next weekend for Susann's baby shower.  We shall see.  Since the majority of the damage was in out laundry room we are currently without a washing machine.  I see a laundry road trip in our future.

Susann is doing well and has been as cool as a cucumber during all of this.  I knew it when I married her and it has only been verified everyday - I got a good one.  Little Robbie - you are a lucky man my friend.
