As you may know, Josh stayed in Kamloops when we returned home. He went to camp with his cousin Aaron and then stayed at his granparents house. By the time he gets here it will be almost 4 weeks since we have seen him. Our house has never been this quiet before. We are both excited because, it everything goes according to plan, they are starting the trip to the Yukon today. Needless to say we have missed him tremendously.
Our house is coming along very nicely. I only have to put the pine in Josh's room now - I am about 1/3 of the way done. We are going to do the dining room and kitchen after it's moved - actually we will need more wood for that. Brian has finished putting the siding back on in all the places it had come off. And Naomi and Hannah have started painting their room. (Pictures soon). They were really excited about painting it, but I think they are finding it a little tedious. Maybe they were imagining standing there and splashing paint around or waving a magic wand and getting the results they wanted. Who knows!!! This morning we are taking a much needed rest. Actually we are on a mission - we have to go to Faro to buy some white paint for the bathroom. Brian took off the old mirror, light fixture and sink cabinet. I don't know what the people before we thinking, but the bathroom used to be a minty-horrendous looking blueish greenish colour. And before that was an orangy, peachy, pukey colour. Anyways, our new stuff won't cover the same areas as the old, so he will show us how handy he can be with a paintbrush. He worked for a painting company for a very short period of time before we were married - he can use those valuable skills again. He is getting to be quite the handy-man. Nothing like some home renovations for learning some new skills. It's been a lot of fun doing this together.
