Formal Dinning

Yesterday was our tenth wedding anniversary! Yes, we've managed to stay together this long, it's true. We spent the evening with the boys, complete with dinner in our new "formal dinning room." Yes, these days our kitchen table is stuck in the corner of the living room with the fridge, stove, fishtank, curio, and a variety of food storage and pantry items. It's the high-life for us! Mark is installing new tile flooring throughout the main floor - and what a project that is! I thought he was going to give the boys and me the boot last night when he was trying to get started. Poor guy, he was sweating to death and there were three extra helpers there, just watching over his shoulder. We'll soon be finished and then we can call the carpet guys to come install the new carpet. But that is only once we get all our painting finished too. The baby knows he can't come until we're ready for him and right now his room is Mark's painting booth. I think we're down to 7 weeks and counting...the pressure is on.
