This week

Titus found Brian's razor, and managed to only cut his finger a little and shave about a 1/4 inch of one of his eyebrows - they're so light it took me a couple days to notice. No worries - I noticed the finger rather promptly, though he never cried and didn't realize he cut himself - just wanted to know what that stuff was on the toy he was playing with.

Isabele can take 2-3 steps holding onto only a spoon. She also climbs on anything she can manage - little chairs, the stairs, Titus' bed. The other day she climbed up on the kids chair next to my computer desk, then up onto their little table, then, if I hadn't picked her up and told her "no", she would have climbed right up onto my computer desk. She climbs the step stool in the kitchen, too. She's not quite big enough to climb out of her bed, or onto the couch or my bed, yet.

For my Birthday, I got a new bicycle!! It's purple and pretty. Brian's finishing up ordering the rest of the parts to update it as he got it off of Craigs List in Tennessee (gotta love being a pilot for a living) from a guy who hadn't used it in 4 or 5 years. It will be wonderful! Brian's also working on wiring in the new used ovens after building the base cabinet for them and then will start on plumbing the new used dishwasher - then the work-space countertop.

The mudding is done in the hallway and the kids room and also the arch in the diningroom/kitchen. Now I need to pick out paint for the hall and the kitchen and prime and paint. Looks like Brian's going to be off most of this coming week, so maybe we can get lots done.
