Well, the latest and greatest on Kate is that she's learning how to climb things. Jeff discovered this the other day when he went to check on her in our one "baby-proof" room and there she was sitting on top of our side-table next to the couch! She's had several more incidences of climbing since that day and I was lucky enough to get on on camera today. Enjoy the footage!

This Old House!
Well, here we are - Friday night with an hour to myself, unbelievable!! As I think back I am very unclear of what exactly has been keeping me so busy. Oh yeah, maybe it has been the house remodel project, Kate, working, cleaning, laundry, etc.
ANYHOW.... Uncle Matthew just came by for week or so on his way from Portland to State College, PA (I don't envy him that drive, especially in the 1980's minivan he's driving these days). We did have a great time:
And we are making progress on the house remodeling. I keep encouraging Jeff to do a blog post about the project, but I know he's down to less free time than I between working, Kate and the project. Basically Jeff (with VERY minimal help from me) has added new lighting to the kitchen, done some drywall work, textured walls and the ceiling, taken out most of the old flooring, laid down sub-floor planks and now we are finally seeing some of the hardwood floors go in!
Within the next two weeks we expect the new cabinets, sink and hopefully counter top to arrive and magically get installed (by Jeffers). I'm really crossing my fingers that we have a functioning kitchen sink for Kate's first birthday party over labor day! I'll let you know how that pans out...
So, I think we have some work ahead of us!! It'll be a busy couple of weeks. Wish us luck!
