So our carpet quest ended up with us buying new carpet tiles for the basement. They looked good and I was able to install them myself over a weekend and a half. We got the office back to normal and I even bought a new more suitable desk for the office. After everything was back in place, I actually felt that I could be more productive! I actually had a new office!
And then the rain... AGAIN! I came down one morning about 2 weeks after Atlanta's serious flooding only to find my carpet tiles floating! URRGGG! Needless to say I wasn't too happy. So I had to pull out all the carpet tiles as vacuuming just pulled them right up.
So back to the drawing board... now we have to spend $5000+ just to get an interior drain put in the floor. This doesn't even include the cost to remove the old walls and put them back. NICE!
With all that said, life is good. Our kids make my day, every day. McKenna is growing up way to fast. I forgot about the 5 month old period where babies stop being so unresponsive and actually start to interact with you. It's really amazing. McKenna is much more alert, aware and curious than Jonah was. She is also MUCH stronger than her brother at this age... did I mention bigger too? I actually walked in her room one night when she was crying and she had attached herself to the side rails of the crib like spiderman. Literally she was just hanging on the the rails at a 45 degree angle to her mattress. Granted I was tired and sleepy when I walked in but it seriously looked like someone had velco'ed her to the rails. When I tried to pull her off, she demonstrated her death grip with ferocity. She is strong!
Jonah is doing well and just as cute as every. His vocabulary is exploding as well as his curiosity to see just how far he can push his limits. He spends a good bit of time in time-out for biting Joshua. While the bites aren't malicious (I don't think) they are bites... and they are bites that hurt. Luckily for us (and not Josh) he doesn't bite anyone else... strange.
Recently my immediate family (Bro and Candy) has started a MON night tradtion. Candy and Dave come over on MON nights and we do dinner. They get to hang out with the kids on a regular basis and Jonah LOVES IT! I imagine that he will one day have fond memories of Uncle Dave and Aunt Candy when he was little. I know I have those memories...
