We got two of the bathrooms complete with plumbing and electrical. I need to clean them really well so Chris can get them caulked and they will be done.
(Madi has no shirt on because she climbed into the tub and turned the water on, then she just sat there and said "Uh, oh.")
We also got the banister up and completed. It looks great and now Madi can roam the house on her own.
Carpet was installed and finished yesterday. We carpeted the three bedrooms and then down the stairs. It also looks great and the rooms aren't echoing anymore and much warmer. All three bedrooms are close to being done. The bottoms of the doors have to be shaved down a bit and get them rehung. We also have to install the closet rods and organizers and get the doors hung.
The kitchen counter tops are done. Very excited about that, they look great. We have to finish installing the drains to the sink and faucet put on. But the kitchen is basically done.
We could actually move in now but we still have some finish work to get done and we aren't in any big hurry to be out. The main room, office, pantry, and back bathroom need to have baseboards installed. The back bathroom we need to finish installing the toilet and sink. We have two doors that need to be finished with trim. And then we still have the fun task of filling all the nail holes with wood filler. My dad and mom started that on Sunday and it is going to take awhile.
Chris and I have spent the last two days talking about how and when we are going to finish the basement. And we also have outside finishing work that will probably wait until it's a little warmer. We want to put a concrete pad in front of the garage and also outside the basement in back and a sidewalk out front. We also need to build the deck and caulk all the seams in the siding. Paint trim and do all that fun outside stuff.

We finally had a nice day last Friday. Madi and I got out and did some errands and then went to the park and played. She went down the slides a couple of times but I couldn't get her to go down on her bottom. She wanted to go down on her tummy, feet first. Oh well, she'll get the hang of it. But she had more fun on the springy toys that have been in the park for probably 20 years than she did on anything else. Here she is playing on the "capiller." But of course, it turned cold again. It rained all day Sunday and then turned into snow Sunday night. It isn't supposed to get real nice again until Sunday again. I am ready for spring!!!
Yesterday, we had Kenley over all day. She is Chris' cousins little girl and she is three months older than Madi. They had a wonderful day playing together. It was also very nice for me, I didn't have to be the entertainer all day. They played all day together by themselves. It was great. By the time Kenley's mom came to pick her up, both girls were delirious with laughter. All they had to do was look at each other and they would start laughing and running after each other. It was really nice to see Madi playing with another kid. We haven't had much of a chance to do that. I guess maybe it's time to have another one!!
Happy Birthday to Kush, Kishan, and Aunt Kathy tomorrow!
Love, Amy
