Under Construcsin

Our master bedroom/school room has been under construction for a few months.  But with Lyman's extended leave from work, he is making great progress.  The whole room is primed and the doors and baseboards are painted.  The ceiling is being  painted as we speak.  Then we'll pick the color for the walls, something to match the yellowish color in the kitchen.  Maybe next week we'll have the floor in!
Then we have to decide if it is a school room or if it is our master bedroom.  There is major renovation needed for both upstairs bathrooms.  I would rather wait till that is done before moving upstairs.
What home improvement/yard improvement projects are on your list?  (Or your list for your husband!)

We had birthdays!

We got to celebrate twice for Gwen and William.  On their birthday, Lyman took all the kids but Oliver swimming.  Then we went out to dinner and opened presents.  Gwen was thrilled to get her own sewing kit and a children's sewing book.  William loved his maze books.

The following week, we had a family dinner with Nama and Nampa and Ben and the kids.  It was fun evening!

Lyman also had a birthday.  The big 4-0.  He's getting younger every day, now!  There was no big celebration, because he's not into that sort of thing. 

A rare picture of DJ with his eyes open.  (Just because he tends to close them against the flash.)

And Oliver, grabbing his toes.  So cute!
