We've Been Busy

We've had a lot going on at our house since I last blogged.  So here's a quick overview:

First we installed a wall to enclose our basement.  We liked the openness, but this is simply more practical.

Here's a 'before' shot. (ignore the box spring on the right)

Framing up the wall

Mostly complete

I don't have any pictures of the final look.  It's painted with trim around the door, but there are still some trim pieces to install.

Now with an 'extra' room we were ready for company.  Brad's brother, Dave, came out with his family for Thanksgiving.  We enjoyed many fun times...and one trip to the ER that you can read about on my SIL blog.

The kids got along great and it was so fun to hang out with Dave and Elizabeth. Good times.
