what's been goin' on

so of course we have been busy.

Grandma and Grandpa Kuethe paid us a visit and were able to see and hold Jessica for the first time. She did pretty good, Jacob on the other hand refused to have any pictures taken with them, he was a bit sleepy and pre-occupied with toys. He received a very soft power ranger blanket that he calls his super soft blankie. He loves it.

Jacob was having lots of fun playing with Trevor, then tormenting him, then playing with him again. Trevor seems to enjoy playing with Jacobs toys and is able to have some free time to do so in the evenings after his school work is done and before bed time.

In between all of this we are still working on the basement and stairwell. I have painted the stairs and Jason installed the lights with some help from Lucas and Ryan. I had to paint them three times. the first color i picked didn't look right, then it took two layers for this color to cover the ugly color. We textured all but one of the walls (a small one) and we cleared and cleaned the basement floor to get it ready for carpet (with Lucas' help) and that took almost all night.
