I'm behind...

You know it's been too long when I look at my blogroll and find that practically everyone has updated their blog several times since my last post. Yes. Life has been busy, so once again this is a post that will be mostly photo evidence of what's new with us. The first of that news is our basement bedrooms project. We're thrilled to be past the dusty messy sheetrock phase, though we aren't finished with the clean-up of that yet. That will take YEARS. Closet shelves, doors, casings, and baseboards are on the schedule for Saturday.

There will be double doors here, separating the living section of the basement from the entertainment section. It will also close off the cold right now since we're not finishing the entertainment area yet. To the right is the staircase, hallway leading to the utility room, and door to the storage room. Through the double doors to the left is the doorway to Jade's bedroom and the bathroom. Aeris's room is the one straight ahead.

This is Jade's bedroom. The light from the window makes the photo a little dark, but she has a cool shelf on both sides of the window and a set of spot lights on the wall that will be over her bed.

Deep bathroom with lots of space for our girls to primp.

Aeris's future bedroom. We'll wait at least a year before moving her down.

View of the doorway to Aeris's room. She'll have a built-it desk in the corner by the door.

This is the view from Aeris's room down the hallway and into the entertainment space.

In other news, Logan celebrated his birthday on the 28th again this year. He loves football, so we invited 10 of his friends over for spring training. Coach Nate led them in calisthenics, hits, throwing, receiving, and the ever-important touchdown dance.
