Well, we finally bit the bullet

We finally bit the bullet and purchased some furniture to transform our junky basement into a true Family Room. Joe just does not have enough room to crawl around upstairs. He absolutely loves being able to crawl from one end of the basement to the other. Unfortunately, we had to do away with the Guest Room in the process of creating a Family Room. The Guest Room is now the Storage Room. However, we did purchase a very nice elevated queen size Aerobed for people to use when they stay at our house. It should arrive in a week or so. Unfortunately for my dad, he's coming for a visit in the middle of this upheaval.

Right now things are in limbo. Tomorrow I need to contact a charitable organization to see if they will pick up some of the old basement furniture and other items we're clearing out. As soon as those items are gone we'll tear up the basement carpet and paint the paneling white. Next, we'll have new carpeting installed. Hopefully, this can all be accomplished quickly. The furniture has a scheduled delivery date of July 3rd!

Joe's latest: Yippee! Finally a beautiful little pearl is shining in Joe's mouth! His first tooth broke through on May 25th. He's getting very brave when he's cruising around the furniture. He likes to let go and he barely ever holds on with both hands.
