At this point, I feel I'm in danger of taking more pictures of the house than of the kids.

Timmy asked, with some gentle concern in his voice, "Why did they remove those windows?" Au contraire, Son.

He's probably still reeling from the removal of our wooden deck. I overheard him telling his teacher one morning, "They took our deck away!" Perhaps from his perspective, our house is getting smaller. It feels that way, with some upstairs furniture downstairs now. And, with rain dripping from the family room ceiling, we've pulled furniture in.

We had a mix-up with the windows order, since we want to replace all. Complete replacement costs extra. But the contractor counted incorrectly and won't provide an updated proposal before Monday. That delays the order a day or two. But, eventually, eventually, eventually those empty spaces will have windows.
