Making Progress

Favorite Avery-ism of the Easter holiday -- Devon: "Avery, what is Easter about?"
Avery: "It's about when Jesus gets a life!" (alive? perhaps)

The drywall & texturing is all done! Yippee -- time to install the shower pan & get going on the tiling in the bathroom. And wait for the cabinets to be built & installed for my office area.And paint, paint, paint.
In addition to widening the door to the bathroom, we accidentally widened the hallway at the bottom of the stairs by ripping out the last remaining wood paneling around the stove. Lo & behold, there was not wall there, just phantom wood paneling. It's nice to have the extra space, even if it was an accident.
Avery has already progressed past her 25-piece Easter puzzle & started tackling the 84-piece USA states puzzle. She whipped through it tonight with astonishing pace, but wouldn't let me take a picture of it when it was done (I have no idea why). We started with the states she knows on the west coast, and moved eastward, although her favorites were definitely the little ovals with the small state names written on them on the east coast. And, I can understand why Jordan has taken to wearing Devon's ski socks, but could they please be a little wackier?!
