the deafening sound of a tile cutter ...

is ringing in my ears and I wasn't even the one using it! Yes, the master bathroom has been gutted and the new tile floor is going in. We uncovered some moldy, rotted drywall that was hiding behind the floor board from a leaky toilet sometime in the past 40 years so that will have to be removed. But, progress is continuing nicely!

Mark and I have watched 2 movies in the past 2 weeks. We NEVER watch movies. They are far from newly released but we enjoyed them none the less. "Hitch" and "Fools Love". Both romantic comedies.

Eli is obssessed about riding his "bike", or in other words his trike. Even though it's been 30s, we've been outside. Of course then we have lots of sobs when it's time to come in.

I have to leave my cousin some blog love. Stop over and check out her blog. She is an amazingly talented artist and creates the most beautiful things with paper, buttons, ribbon, etc...

I'll close with a request. Our good friend's recently had their first child, a boy named Elijah James (just like our son= ). They have learned that he has a medium to large size hole in his heart, or VSD. The hole will close with either a surgery or by itself as he grows and they will not know for a couple of months which it will be. While he is fine now, he can be susceptible to bacteria. This is the 2nd family close to us that has been impacted by this. So, while he is not in grave danger, we ask you to send some prayers there way. It certainly is tough when experiencing parenthood for the first time along with sleep deprivation, hormones, etc... and then to have news like this on top. If you aren't the praying type, just send some positive vibes there way. I know they would appreciate it!

Here are a few pics from Schuyler's Friendship Party at school.
