Remodeling....still

Well, for those of you who are wondering how the house selling is going...it's not. We have still had very few people looking at the house and the ones who do aren't interested. Dan is working like a madman on the back room (Bosley's room). The horrible wallpaper, border and paneling have all been removed (thanks to the help of his brothers-in-law) and he's started the painting, but Menards gave us two different colors of paint, so it will have to all be repainted. ugh. The carpet will be replaced on Monday and now we are considering putting in new windows as well. This is a much bigger project than what we were wanting to do, and I'm just praying it will pay off in the end. At this point, I have my doubts.
On a good note, Vince is doing fantastic. He was really sick for several days, but he's finally gotten back to himself. He has a new toy that he loves. The first day it was set up, I was feeding him his morning bottle on the couch in the living room and as soon as he was done, he climbed off my lap and got off the couch (by himself, for the most part; all I did was keep my hand on his back in case he fell backwards) and practically sprinted (in a crawl, of course) over to it. I felt terrible because I didn't have any batteries in it, so he was just banging on it with no sounds or lights. He didn't seem to mind. But that night I got the batteries in and he LOVED it. It sings in Spanish and English and he just dances and wiggles and giggles the whole time. I don't think he's touched any of his other toys all week. Except the farm magnet. That thing's like crack for him. Here's a picture of his new fav toy.



Hope you all have a great weekend.

  1. I'm sorry the market has been so bad - I sure hope you guys get a buyer soon because we can't wait for you to get to M'Boro.
    And Finn has that same toy so when Vince comes to visit he won't have to bring his !! Does Vince ever seem to wonder why the book in the middle only has one page? That has been baffling Finn for months! LOL!
