Such fun - we have begun the work on the bathroom. Todd and Travis replaced the fan while I removed all the fixtures from the walls (towel racks, paper dispenser, etc). Tomorrow we sand the ceiling and walls, clean up the dust and hopefully apply coat #1 of mildewcide paint. We picked a new, slightly lighter colour of paint - I hope it looks o.k. Anyway, I may be left with the finishing up work, because Todd will be going to sea on Wednesday afternoon - he'll be gone for two weeks. If I were the ambitious type, I would slap a new coat of paint on the kitchen while he's away... sadly, I am better at thinking up new jobs than I am at actually doing them :) The kitchen would look so nice with a nice new coat of yellow/cream... *sigh*
Oh, a bit of news: Eric has got himself a job, starting Tuesday. He will be washing tons of dishes, 40 hours/wk, for a party rental place. It's only minimum wage, but it's full time, no nights or weekends. I hope he takes it seriously and does some decent work. He has been a little more cheerful since he was hired, but he still took off for the weekend before he did his required chores. Ah well, I guess you can't have it all.
Caitlyn will be having some kind of in-home evaluation this Wednesday, to see how she behaves in her own environment, and to measure her level of communication, I guess. I am not really sure exactly what it's for - we're still waiting for an appointment date with hearing specialists and developmental specialists, but I guess this is just part of the process. She still hasn't said a single word, which is funny considering how much noise she can make! She is still the most beautiful little girl in the world, though, in my considered opinion :)
So, a busy week ahead. With any luck, I'll be able to blog again with updates, while they're still news :)

And I consider your 'considered opinion' in high regard.
But, don't forget..regular 'opinions' are just 'opinions'.
Well, I'm glad Eric has a job.
Which bathroom are you doing..you have so many????
I assume it's the upstairs one at the top of the stairs.
I haven't seen the one off of your bedroom.
I've seen the one on the main floor, and the one in the basement.
Hahahahaha...sorry, I just find it amusing that you have four bathrooms. Because, of all the rooms I hate cleaning..the bathroom is the worst..and you have Four!!!!!!!
Let me know how Caitlyn's evaluation goes...please!!!!!!
Love you all
Mommy xxxxx ooooo xxxxx

Good news about Eric-- doing dishes builds character!! Sounds like he lucked in to good hours though-- so important to teens!
"In-home evaluation"-- sounds scary- but so smart to be on top of things early-- and you're right, she is beautiful,, Hoping you guys will come down this summer- much love-- sue
Mikki,, check out "Musings" blog for today--- a few days ago she posted about her concerns for her granddaughter non-verbal developments and someone left a link in her comments you may want to check out--- I didn't check it out myself,, but I always think people come into our lives as we need them and I couldn't help thinking of your blog decor when I saw her post today--- she has a picture of her grandaughter on the post about her concerns-- may have been last week--- love sue
