Construction and More

We are now opened to our new addition. They knocked out our kitchen wall and windows that was blocking us from the outside addition part, so needless to say it's been a little chilly in the mornings when we've gotten up for school. Luckily all of our rooms have stayed fairly warm (our poor furnace is probably working double time to not only keep the regular part of our home heated, but also our new addition, which still has holes and NO insulation on it yet).

Lydia has some strange fascination with our new addition, unfortunately there are many nails and other items that we don't like her getting into, so we have to barricade this part all off.

We also had an incident dealing with a thunderstorm and a roof that was not sealed very well. Lot's of dripping water in our living room and our bedroom.
 

The last picture is one of a curious 3 year old and 17 mo. old. While mom was busy, they decided to pull ALL of the books off of the bookshelf and attempt to make a tent with the sheets off of everyone's beds. I wondered why they were soooo quiet--you'd think I would know better by now!!   "Lucky" dad found this nice disaster just as mom was headed out to a prior engagement.
