Sooooo close....

Oh my god, the upstairs has to get finished soon...right?!  There are just a few smallish things left.  But smallish things that are time consuming.  The bathroom tile is done.  Andy did an awesome job, and here is some proof.

The lighting in there is pretty bad right now, but here is the tile that had been set, the red is waterproofing.

Here is the floor tile, you can see the heated floor wire things underneath.

And now the floor of the shower is starting to go in.

This floor is pretty sweet.

And the grouted floor next to the shower with a peek at the shower floor.

Oh yeah!  Super awesome shower!

I really wanted a hutch, and to paint it a super cool color but eventually got over my initial excitement about that project and found a couple of shelves at a garage sale for a few bucks and hung them over the dresser I use for storage in the corner of the dining room.  And presto...my very own hutch.  Look at that handy husband installing them for me.

While we were doing that, Amelie was doing this...typical.

But then she learned to do this, and I don't care what she messes up for a while.




Auntie Tova and Andy were in town for a couple of weeks.  Obviously Andy did the tile in our bathroom, and we hung out at my mom's with Tova a few days.  We also took a trip to the Como Zoo.  Ami rode the mechanical dinosaur a couple of times and ran around like a crazy tot a lot.

Ami brought Grandma Tracy, or Mimi, some lilacs.

and we learned that Andy is a baby and child whisperer.

I gave Ami a little haircut this morning too.  Took a couple inches off and now she has a little toddler bob.  It's so cute and she sat still the whole time.  She never ceases to amaze me.

She is in bed now, and we got Little Focker's from Netflicks so I'm going to watch it now.

Please cross your fingers that we finish the upstairs, or at least come very near, this weekend.
