Water, water, everywhere

We've had a few days of rain here... unusual in that the skies are overcast almost all day, and the temp is below 92! So what do we do on one of the clear mornings?


Hit the "beach" of course. It's not the real beach, as it's on a river. Quite frankly, I find it hard to consider anything other than the Gulf or an ocean as a real beach! But Kaden doesn't seem to care. As long as he can "go digging, Mama".

This is what most nights have looked like. He loves his rain jacket, and insists on wearing it even if it's just sprinkling out. He's too cute for me to disagree much.

In other waterlogged issues, I can't believe I left you 'hanging' on the bathroom ceiling for so long! (To find out why I'm chuckling, scroll back to the last post photos.) Since then, the whole thing was removed...


and new drywall was patched into place. Next up: a little insulation in the attic and re-painting the whole bathroom. Not too exciting, I know.
What is exciting is Kaden's first days at daycare/preschool. He's been going this week for half days and seems to love it. I, on the other hand, have my heart both bursting with pride and breaking in two each morning. Classic story, I know, I know. Pray for us anyways, and all those moms letting go of their kids in some way (first day of school, new highschool, college...

1-2-3 thoughts

1st Thought: Oh, crud. Ceilings shouldn't look like that.
2nd Thought: Who do you call for something like this?
3rd Thought: Oh, wait- I'm married!

About an hour later, with Kaden "helping",
Jimdad sweating it out in the attic,
and the help of 1 good neighbor and 1 co-worker friend...
Diagnosis: The AC drain line clogged. Again, but in a totally different way than before.
So that part is fixed, and now the bathroom ceiling needs to be re-drywalled.
Check back in a week, when it *should* be all patched up.
Maybe I'll even re-paint the bathroom!
And HAPPY WEEKEND to you all :)
