The living room was full. The upstairs former office/bonus room was full. The house was full. And you could [ Read More ]

Today was the final push to get the house ready for the shower this weekend. That meant Jessie was cleaning the house, while Don and I were working on the bathroom. We made good progress, as we got the plumbing fixed, the toilet removed, and everything cleaned up ready for me to finish the few [ Read More ]
Today was the calm before the storm…in that it was a busy, but still more crowded than usual house. Melody’s parents were in town, as were our nieces Teagan and Avery (and their Mom Jill). We did some prep work, but the bulk of the cleaning and preparing will occur tomorrow. I did get some [ Read More ]
We had our 29 week appointment ultrasound today, and it went well. The babies are now 3.3 and 3.2 pounds each…which is awesome. I can’t say enough how happy we are that we’ve made it this far. Our next goal, is 32 weeks. Then 36, then 38. — Tonight was the Juventus vs Chivas match [ Read More ]

We get to speak to the people who actually work on the products like Gmail, Google Docs/Calendar/Sites etc, which is pretty cool. We also get to talk with other customers, to see how they [ Read More ]
Today was a good day for work. We got almost all of the tiling done on the bathroom, with only the outside rows to be completed later (the ones on the outside of the actual shower area.
Tiling Started today. After a trip to the Lowes in Apex, and then a trip to the Lowes in Durham to pick up what wasn’t available in Apex (dammit), we started tiling just after lunch. Several hours later, we had made good progress. Enough to be happy about for sure.
Today was Friday, the end of a long DIY week, and yet, it will precede an even longer weekend of work. I powered up with Chubby’s Tacos for lunch, then headed home to get started. Melody’s parents were in town again to help, and our plan was to get as much of the tiling on [ Read More ]
