Mark Makes a Dent

By all accounts, our vacation away from home was productive. Abby, Ethan and I had a great time visiting friends and family. And Mark (and his Dad) made a big dent in the basement finishing project.

The main room (rec room) has drywall installed everywhere now, and looks great! The office is about 2/3 complete with drywall installation, but is a MUCH smaller room so it shouldn't take too much longer to finish. Next, we will be hiring out the taping/mudding of the drywall, which will be a great relief to have done. Mark is definitely on his way!

It's hard to believe the basement was a large cement rectangle just a few months ago, and now it has three distinct rooms (and two closets). Soon enough, the kids and I will be playing downstairs and our computers can move out of our bedroom. It's very exciting! Thank you, Honey!!

Hotel __Pants is taking shape! I had no idea that we were in for such luxurious accommodations in July! Keep up the good work, Mark. If you need some extra time away from the kids, fly them on down here. Barely a day goes by when we don't talk about them and our wonderful visit. Ethan sure has his godfather wrapped around his little finger! Ally was giving him hugs around his legs the other morning and Danny said that they were nice, but that Ethan's hugs spoiled him. Ahh...
