The Break Through

And today was the today.... they broke through from the 2nd level to our main level. Put in the stairs and tore down a few walls and closets. Basically all hell broke loose! Dust and plastic everywhere.

Ani and I spent the entire day out of the house (because of the demo) and had a wonderful time. We went to a neighborhood coffee shop that has a huge play area and treated ourselves to a slice of carrot cake. Then we went to one of my final doctor's appointments. Ani loves to join me at these, as the nurses and doctors love her and she gets stickers and also gets to help the doctor find the baby's heartbeat. We went to lunch, where she promptly fell asleep in the car afterwards. So I parked the car and read a book for an hour. Then we went to the indoor park for a couple hours.

And coming home... this is what we were greeted with!

Ani and I peeked through the plastic into the foyer and she got a big smile on her face and said "I Love It!" So funny.


I am standing in our former bedroom. That's our former closet to the right. And right in front of where Ani is standing was our linen closet and a coat closet. Closets and walls be gone! It doesn't even feel like the same house anymore.

Although it's messy right now, this is so exciting!!
