No more Grandmom

Mom left to go back to Washington on Tuesday morning. The night before Emily finished painting Mia's room. It is a lovely shade of purple and blue/green. Now all it needs is a chair railing thingy around the room in a dark mahogany to match her furniture. The table in the kitchen reminds me of the kitchen I grew up with, a table top over cabinets. Just smaller. It is awesome, if a bit high. We'll need to get bar stools. We had to tear dwon the paneling in the boys room and in doing so it revealed a bigger problem. We need to do some insulating (it is the COLDEST room in the house) and then we are going to reside the walls and paint. Hopefully that will get done before the boys graduate from college. Mia's room was a much simpler fix!!! The siding on the house has a start. Scott has about 100 days to get it finished. I hope he gets it done. Especially since he has volunteered our house for Christmas this year with his family. I look forward to showing it off, but only if the house is ready. I hope we haven't bitten off more than we can chew (yeah right, I know we did).

Gavin misses his Grandmom and Emma something fearce. He walks around asking for them. It's sad! Mia sleeps with me more nights than not. It is just easier to nurse her and fall asleep then get out of bed and blah blah blah. Donovan had his first report card. He is struggling and we are going to have him tested for adhd. Hopefully that helps.
