The addition of Michelle to our family was a huge surprise. I'm also very surprised at how she still wakes up every night. We tried to move her into Kaelah's room a looong time ago & Kaelah began to complain. We moved her into Danny's room & he got ultra crabby. So I emptied my clothes out of our walk-in closet & her crib has been there for months & months. This spring Dan & I went looking for a 4-bedroom ranch style house with a walk-out basement big enough for my parents to move into but came up empty. Turns out people expect that if you want a house like that you want all the bells & whistles too. So, we decided to get our little half basement finished off & my parents are currently looking into buying their own house. Here are a few pictures from the night before the work began & up to where the basement is now (minus the texture they added yesterday afternoon). It is basically one room with a half bath in one corner & a play niche in the other. We're pretty excited. It should be done right before we go out of town next month. Can't wait 'til we have friends over to play!
Some other little notes on the photos: The one with 3 children is where the play niche will be b/c it is such a small space with a low ceiling next to the stairs. In the one with only Michelle, she is clapping b/c when we walked down there I told them the workers had done such a good job. She's a sweetie!
