this is tamar’s new baby’s name…i’m supposed to take her pictures on friday, so i’m sure i will be posting some more of her beautiful little face:) i also had a great session on saturday that i will get up soon, in the mean time, our house is a construction zone! things have been turned upside down, we are putting new floors in throughout the house, and painting out all of our trim. eric is set on doing it ALL THE RIGHT WAY, which means painting ceilings, and all the walls, filling holes, and some minor dry wall work before the flooring goes in. i know i will be glad that we did all of this when it’s done, but living like this with the boys is not easy! they are being troopers, for sure, but it doesn’t mean it’s easy:) we haven’t had carpet for almost a week, and all of my living room furniture is in the kitchen (except for the couch). so we’ve been walking around on subfloor. it hasn’t been too bad, since eric replaced all of it last week, so it’s new. but i can’t wait for the finished product! vintage chesnut wide plank floor throughout, and newly painted white trim…it’s a dream! so here’s a random picture of eric securing the sub floor in earlier last week, and one of each of the boys taken at the same time. i’m going to try and be better at taking pictures as we continue the process, but for some reason, between the boys and trying to help eric, i seem to have my hands full…

on a side note, dylan fried our tv yesterday, i wasn’t in the room, but eric and eli are saying flames shot out the back…i’m not sure i believe it was dramatic as they described it, but either way, it doesn’t work any more. with everything we are doing, a new tv is NOT in the budget, so we are tv free as of yesterday. not such a big deal, it’s just raining outside, the boys are crazy, as is our house, and some toon time today would have been nice….
