When we had our furnace replaced last spring they had to cut new air return upstairs for the air conditioning. That left a nice metal duct running alongside a wall in the kitchen.it took us several months before we framed and drywalled it, and then time stood still. Fast forward to this weekend and here we are trying to finish it. When I went from a measly ten hours a week to 40 I became a very unhappy and busy human being (hence, the widely spaced posts on this site). But, a mommy has to do what a mommy has to do. I decided I needed a mental health break so I gave myself a three day weekend and vowed we would get that wall FINISHED!! It has turned out very nice so far and John hasn't lost any fingers to the circular saw god....yet. However, it is back to work tomorrow. *sigh*

Christopher's hair has been getting longer and longer in the back. I have been giving him the occasional trim with Daddy's beard trimmer, but it was time he got a REAL haircut. Besides, the boys had school pictures coming up. He sat so still for the stylist and never cried or tried to escape. Check out the pictures in the album.
