Well. Hmm. I have recently been enjoying my sister's blog. She lives in Richland and so we don't see each other terribly often. It has been lots of fun to see what she and her family has been up to. I am a horrible correspondent (this is not a new development) but I am going to try to do better (again). So much has happened and not happened since I last posted.
As far as the not happened...in my last post I talked about working on the basement and Mary hopefully moving into her room soon. I wouldn't say she has totally given up hope...but she still is waiting. A while back we moved her into the game/computer room, so she does have her own space now, but it isn't the same as a fully functional bedroom. We have made tons of progress on the basement. We are so stinkin' close to finishing all the mudding and sanding. I would say mere hours away, if we could just put the time in. Texturing would be a one day project, and then we could get the entire basement carpeted. We haven't really worked on the downstairs bathroom, other than some demolition, but that isn't going to be carpeted, so it is not a priority for us now. I would love to have the rest finished before school. That is always such a busy time.
The most recent happening was a family vacation to Seattle to visit Woodland Park Zoo and the Seattle Aquarium. We had a really great trip. The first night we camped as Kanasat-Palmer State Park. It was absolutely beautiful. Our most favorite campsite ever, I think. Though we had a great time on our trip, it was really nice to come back home.
