baby's room
The baby’s room is pretty much complete. Thank you to everyone for the gifts that helps make this room special for our little one. Many thanks to Grandpa for painting the room, and thanks to both Grandma and Grandpa for putting up the wallpaper border!! Click on the image above to see the baby’s room.

adventures in plumbing
Last week, Super Bowl Sunday was supposed to be an easy day for me. I did most of my chores on Saturday so I could enjoy my Sunday. I slept in, and when I woke up, I got dressed, ready to take Salem for his walk. However, curiosity got to me while I was in the bathroom. (more…)

What’s going on? We had 8 inches of snow on Friday. It’s all gone thanks to 75 degree weather Monday. Work is hell. I flooded the master bathroom on Super Bowl Sunday (more on that later). I cheered on the Patriots only to see them lose in fantastic fashion to the Giants (kudos to Eli Manning and the Giants D). Work is hell. Aggravated my knee again while working in the bathroom. Collecting Pepsi bottle caps for free music. Work is hell. I don’t have any updated photos of the Tremont because of said plumbing problems; I hope to get them on Friday.

update 120807
Christine’s parents were in town for the past week for her mom’s annual cookie bake in St Louis. While they were here, an offer was made on their house back in Charlotte. After several counteroffers back and forth over the weekend, the buyers accepted the final offer on Monday. My in-laws have to be out of the house by the 2nd week of January. So they extended their stay and spent the entire week making arrangements for movers and storage while also customizing every aspect of the house they’re building here in town. Christine and I are working on cleaning out Daniel’s old playroom so her parents can stay with us while their new home is being built (the guest room is being converted into the nursery).
Her parents bought us a new bed for Christmas; the previous mattress was so old it literally was a pain to sleep on it. And with Christine pregnant, it’s not good for her to have sleepless nights and back pain. The new bed is a welcome change; king-size and firm. We still wake up several times at night – she because of the pregnancy, me because of Salem (I’ve been told that the dog is prepping me for the baby).

I’ve uploaded photos of the house my in-laws plan to build in a new subdivision a few miles from where we live. Click the photo above or here for the link to the set, or go straight to the slideshow on Flickr.
