It appears that we are at our best, in terms of updating our blog, when we are on vacation. Needless to say, we made it back to Seattle safe and sound, with a brief stop in Boston. We had just one night in Boston, and thanks to the Schomps, we were able to see the whole SK crowd. It was really great to get a chance to not only catch up with this crew, but to also meet Ms. Evelyn Alida Schomp. I won't lie, it was clearly the highlight of the night. Not only is she a joy to be around, she also apparently likes dried fish. Matt brought this Icelandic treat back for Nate, and Evelyn went to town on it. It's a shame, really, since it smells like fish food.
We ended back to the Seattle early the next morning, and since we've been home it's been crazy busy. Since September 7th, Matt's been to LA, San Francisco two times, and is heading to New York this weekend. I've had an easier run, with just one trip to North Carolina. When we have been home, it's been all basement all the time. There's a bit more urgency now that we have a deadline of January 12th.
Matt separated his shoulder a few weeks ago playing flag football, so we've reached out to our contractor to finish up the trim and other detailed woodwork in the basement. But still, bum shoulder and all, Matt spent this past weekend painting the entire basement and finishing up the last bit of electrical work. Carpet is being installed on Thursday, and we'll be sure to post some photos of the basement after that. It's pretty exciting though - we are really close to being finished and it actually does double the size of our house.
Stay tuned for updates on the status of Baby Yoder ...
