A year in advance

Well everyone, it's been awhile since the last post, I'm pretty sure we've had 2 or maybe 3 new places to lay our heads since the last time I wrote. All told I think we'll be in 10 different houses by the time we move back into our Regular house. God bless all of our friends and family and Airbnb for taking us in! On that note, the new move in date is December 8th. Look for a party to follow. 

In the meantime I'll catch you up on all the work that's been happening. We have a new stairway banister so that there isn't a giant wall you have to walk around going up the stairs. It really lets the light in from the window too. 

They've been staining all of the wood and our windows so that they match the existing mahogany. It really stinks in there.

In the middle of all this we had some visitors. Mema and Poppop came out to celebrate Clara's 4th birthday. I would bet that most AirBnB's go to more exotic places to celebrate their birthday that NE Portland.

Mema still made it feel like a party and she hooked Clara up. Poppop, we still have some tickle bugs. Their worse than the flea infestation of the last place!

 The kitchen is coming together, we have painted cabinets and fancy countertops. Dad says they won't look so grey in the daylight.

 Mommy and Daddy's bathroom is getting polished off.

 And Clara and I will each have a place to brush our teeth and our hair so dad doesn't have to do it anymore. He says he's reached his capacity on hair styles. Mom says I need to send him back to Carlos to get some new ideas.

The next post will either be from Independence, SE Belmont, or NE Flanders depending on which place I have a free moment to post. Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
