Home improvements

Not to much exciting to report these last couple of weeks. We have finally deciced to work on completing the basement. This is the area that I had the daycare...it was painted peach and seaweed green. We have taken the time to now paint to more comfortable colors and make this area into a game room with surround sound TV. Liz has been dying to have an area such as this for when her friends come over. I think she is trying to tell us that socializing with her parents and sister is just not cool anymore. I will send pictures when it is completed. We still have some minor stuff to do before it is liveable.

Liz started basketball last week at school. You will never guess who her coaches are???? Yes, Ken and I have become volunteers for this as well:) We have 16 girls so had to make two fifth grade teams. This has never happened at this elementary school before. Liz is doing very well and has only jammed her finger once since we started. We have discovered that she has a perceptual problem with her eyes and her depth perception is off (another thing she gets from mom). After talking to her eye doctor we have started some eye therapy as well he has recommened contacts. She has been begging for contacts for awhile now and Ken and I have been fighting it. Now that the doc is recommending it and it will help her problem then we have given in.

Mikaela has taken on swim lessons and is still doing her gymnastics.
She has been moved up to the top of her reading group in school and is very excited.I took her in to have her eyes checked to and doc says by next year we will see her in glasses too.

Ken is still job hunting and I start back to college tomorrow!

Love to all
