15 days until new house bliss.

I'm counting the hours until we shed this apartment. The drains are always jammed, I have no windows, nowhere to neatly put toys, and the florescent light in the kitchen hurts my brain. Plus, the cat litter finally made the garage permanently smelly.

Yep. I just admitted to smelliness.

I hung at our house for a good hour today, until Carter's hair was completely strung with sweat. But wow, is it fun taking pictures in a place that's thick with window light.

Poor Carter. I'm always in his face.

Paint on the front door.

The master bathroom's shower is up. I've never been shower curtain-free before. I'll let you know how it goes.

Bonus? There's even water running. (I should have taken a shower! We were all kinds of sweaty.)

The washer & dryer arrived.

Appliances are here, but not installed.

The wood on the banisters was stained to match the floors.

We took some time to run back & forth on the porch, set the camera, giggle and pose. I'm glad we'll have years to clunk the camera onto the railing and line ourselves up, because today we just couldn't get centered & focused.

The kitchen faucet was accidentally upgraded to a pretty brushed nickel version. We're not complaining (or even reporting, for that matter).

In other news, Carter's finally unhumbled himself enough to attempt saying his own name. For the longest time, he'd just point to himself when we asked him to say Carter. Now, when he sees a picture of himself, he admits that's Tih-tah.
