The birds are back!
We counted seven male gold finches, two females, a pileated woodpecker, a hairy woodpecker and a red-breasted grosbeak this morning. We haven't had any birds for a while so this was a special treat. (SO glad we put that patio door in or we would have missed it!) It drove the cats nuts, of course, which made it all the more entertaining to watch.


Here's a close-up of two of the males.


And here's the bathroom - WITH A FLOOR! We lost all three cats inside (literally) the house at one point, so it's nice to know that they can't get in the crawl spaces anymore.
We're crossing our fingers for the drywall going up tomorrow - but who knows.


Another view of the bathroom.


And Jonas peeking in. I think he's as sick of remodeling as we are! He likes to lay on the top step and watch Jeremy and Justin work. He's been known to steal a block of wood or two for a "snack" as well. Naughty dog.

Well, that's about it for pictures this week. Since I'm the one holding the camera its hard to get a picture of my own belly. Its getting big and I'm pretty miserable at this point. I don't feel good and my stomach hurts pretty much all of the time. The leg/foot cramps at night have gotten so bad that they make me cry. Pregnancy has pretty much lost all of its glitz and glam at this point, and has been replaced by paint and discomfort. And we still have 2 1/2 months left to go! Ugh. All I can say is, it could be a LOT WORSE, so I guess I shouldn't complain! The good thing is the lilacs are all in bloom and smell wonderful! Our neighbors let me steal lilacs from their tree in our driveway so our house smells great, too! I'm SO happy that its not snowing anymore... I'll try and get Jeremy to take a picture of "the belly" later on this week. Adios for now.
