Sprout: Finally started growing a tooth. Decided she wanted to hang out with Mom instead of Dad for the first time ever. Karen was ecstatic, but a bit dismayed that it didn't bother me. Elena and I started hitting the gopher trap line, but we did such a good job last year that it is more of a 4-wheeler ride around the farm this year.
Karen and Bev took the kids to Boise yesterday to send Justin off for the Robie Cr. Race. They went for a hike in the foothills and visited a playground. Zarek seemed to enjoy the playground, while Sprout had a great nap in the backpack.
The basement project is still progressing. We're almost ready for sheet rock in the basement-we just need a few days to get the stairway and utility room prepped. Here is what the basement looks like now.
This weekend I helped my brother with some of his house projects. He helps me all the time, and I think this is the first time I have repaid the favor. His home improvements turned out like most of mine, with unexpected problems and many trips to purchase supplies. Having inherited the Bean "bad skin" genes, he visited the dermatologist last week to get some spots removed on his face. We made five separate trips to buy stuff, and every time people were looking at him like he had smallpox. He was a trooper though, and we made good progress on his projects.
