Posts - Day One

On Sunday we hung up the one curtain rod that is the correct size (oops) and moved our bed and Evelyn's bed into our new master bedroom.  We woke up Monday morning looking up at the wintry trees.  We have had four bedrooms in this house. 

Justin's son hurt his shoulder in a skiing accident, so he spent yesterday morning at the hospital.  A quiet Monday for us.

Today more of our house got ripped apart in order to support the new framing and to improve the existing framing.  They put in a new, large header across the living room doorway with new posts that will be hidden behind the new casing and more posts in the future dining room.

Evelyn has been very curious about the attic.  She really wanted to climb up there, so finally Alyssa gave in and said okay.  Evelyn stepped on the bottom rung and stopped.  She noticed a cobweb.  She asked lots of questions about spiders - spiders on the ladder, spiders in the attic, etc.  It became a struggle of "Fear of Spiders" vs "Desire to see the Attic".  After much hesitation, the desire to see the attic won, and she bravely climbed the ladder to peak in the attic.
