We have been busy bees the last 2 weeks of our official summer. Christian had to return to school Friday, Aug 1st. Gabriel doesn't go back until Aug. 11. So here is a taste of what we have done:

• Tiled the boys' bathroom (now this bathroom has been "closed for remodeling" since early May!) We ran into some difficulty when we pulled up the 2 layers of old vinyl and found a damp floor underneath. Long story short, we didn't have to replace the sub-floor! Thank God!!

• Next we tackled the foyer. Again we ran into 2 layers of vinyl, but no wet floor =) We ended up going with a "tile rug" pattern that we are so proud of! It took us 10 hours to lay this tile!
