Finally! We're now really close to moving into our house. I cannot wait. All these months playing "house" in a different house is getting old. I want my lovely floor plan back where Amelia's room is on the same floor as mine. And with Portland officially in a "heat" wave, I want my AC back ASAP.
So we've got electric back in our house. We've got running water. We've got a microwave oven. We've got pretty floors and wonderful carpet (thanks to our neighbor). We still need the trim work, seal the tile in the master bath, closets, insulation in the attic, refinish the banister, door enclosure & mirror for the bathroom and then a good cleaning. The contractor guesstimates another week and a half to two weeks. Our bathroom is looking great. We've got new fixtures and even new sinks. Apparently, they cracked one of the sinks and the contractor had to pay for it, and thus had to buy us two so they'd match. They aren't perfect, but it will do. We also have a toilet again in the master bath.

Well, I am going to keep this short as it's about 100 degrees in the room with the computer (it faces west) and there is no AC in this house. It was 90-something today, 94 yesterday and it's supposed to be 90-something tomorrow. A cool down is in the forecast starting Sunday. Luckily I get to work on Saturday in a nice air conditioned facility.
Here are a few pictures of A in the mean time. She's growing like a weed. I measured her the other day and she grew a half inch in three weeks. She's standing on her own and bouncing, so it's only a matter of time before she takes her first steps. I am hoping that it will be in our new house. :) Nice memories.
