Home Repair Day 3 & 4

Ok, so I didn't have a chance to post yesterday, first not a lot to say but also we hit that point where we were feeling the confinement in the house and needed a long break. We went out for some dinner and got home just to get everyone to bed and enjoy the quiet for a bit.

We did have some progress yesterday on the project. We are awaiting the decision from the insurance company but also waiting on the drying process to finish, so much water!! The plumber was able to replace the pipe that was the cause of this whole mess, yea :) I forgot to take a picture, but look at my last one and imagine the black pipe continues down to the floor, that is what we had.

Then today we got new drywall. It is nice to see the complete wall again. And because I know you are dying to see this picture:


I know there may be someone so bored they are watching with much interest daily to hear of our progress. I know we are beginning to really feel the loss of space. The area really has some things that the little kids need to stay away from and so we are rarely even downstairs. The upstairs is starting to be a bit small, so I hope this weekend we can agree on some activities to be out of the house for a bit. Maybe time to use some of the prizes that the kids get at school for Wahooz or Pizza Hut... We are really looking forward to the finished product and no more leaking water. So, for tonight praying for a good decision from the insurance agency tomorrow so our contractor is able to move forward.

A fun, positive moment today; in the confines of our environment Bailey took a moment to snuggle with Isaac. Usually they are both snuggling with me, Bailey loves to snuggle and Isaac gets jealous or vice versa. So it was fun to see them filling the need for one another


The best part is that they were able to snuggle together at all after all the work it took for Bailey to get herself comfortable. Isaac weighs only, at most, 5 pounds less than her, so it was a big effort for her to hold him and she kept trying to move his legs just so, so they wouldn't crush her.

Hoping for more to report tomorrow.
