Did I already say BUSY DAYS?

The zoo was a very hot expedition, so when we got back to Ben and Mindy's house the boys (including Ben) played in the sprinkler... Carsten mostly giggled at Ben's antics.





Our good friends Ben and Mindy wanted to take the boys to the zoo for their birthdays, so that is what we did on Saturday. Convenient since Carsten was free! We all enjoyed ourselves--hot sun, funny animals, very well-behaved boys, and good friends. Many thanks to B & M.

We needed to go back to IKEA this weekend as we weren't able to get all our flooring the first trip. The prices are liable to go up after Monday, so we were anxious to get most all the big purchases made before then. This trip we planned well, called ahead, made lists, knew what we were getting and how to get them. It went very smoothly and we were out in record time. Just had to throw that in so that IKEA doesn't look so bad. We are starting to put together our cabinets as I write (well, Jim and Reese are starting).
Update on the house: windows are almost all in and the roofing is almost complete. The electricians come Monday...

Watching your house go up is sooo exciting! Thanks for keeping us updated.

Btw, I LOVE Ikea. Love, love, love it!! Unfortunately, the closest one to us is two hours away so I rarely go, especially with gas prices the way they are. Fun stuff! :-) -- Karen
