Since I last wrote you, we have been to GA, remodeled a bathroom, done two car repairs, and I have been voted in as a probationary member of AVEC. I misspelled it in my last post and I'm sorry for any confusion. AVEC stands for Alton Volunteer Emergency Corps. A search and rescue organization.
Our last trip, before this one, Eliza couldn't even walk by herself yet. This time she was able to walk, talk and feed herself. We were even able to let her swim in the pool at our hotel, and she got to ride in a canoe with her grandpa Portwood. The trip down was really rough on all of us, but the trip back went really smoothly.
We have a functional basement bathroom now thanks to Willard. We had to put a grinder pump under the toilet, and we had to move the back wall forward. So now our little bathroom is even smaller, but at least it works.
Our next task is to get rid of the drop ceiling in the basement and replace it with dry wall (like it should have been in the first place). Oh well, it never ends.
P.S the top picture is Eliza in my suitcase telling me she's ready to go down to GA.
