..And We Have A Floor!

Daniel is doing well. He is absolutely LOVING the new floors, he can get around so much better. Its like opening up a whole new world to him. Because there is no carpet anymore and the high ceilings in the back family room, we have a lot of echoing....which Daniel has discovered also! Isn't he just the smartest!

As you can see we aren't finished yet, there is still a lot of trim work that needs to be done along with painting 3 large rooms!Here is a close up of the ramp area....before it got finished and Daniel can run down it. This is the new fun and exciting thing to do at our house. Run to the ramp in our pony walker and see if we can give mom a heart attack by how we go down and fly across the room!

This past weekend was Lonnie's birthday also. So Happy Birthday to him. Didn't do too much, just had his family over to celebrate with a lasagna dinner (and Lonnie stuck to his diet with a diet version of fat free/sugar free/whole wheat lasagna just for him!).

Would just like to mention that Lonnie has more willpower than me and has stuck to his dieting and is now weighting in 20 lbs less that he was at the beginning of January! Go LONNIE! I guess he'll meet his goal before we go to Disney in 84 days than I will. I'm a stress eater.........need I say more?!?!

I am a stress eater to. If I was opposite I would never have to diet. Love the floors how fun for Daniel, we have laminate flooring to, put it in when we bought a new house not anticipating that it would be a good thing for Evan.

Lookin' good guys!!! Too bad I didn't live closer as I love, love, LOVE to paint. I find it so calming. I know I'm weird.

And Lonnie 20lbs!!! Holy crap that's awesome!! Don't worry Melanie, I'm a stress eater too. However strangely enough I still lose weight when I am stressed. I know that's weird too.

Go Daniel, the ramp is great. Maybe Daddy should show you how to race cars down it too, that is Elizabeth's favorite pastime. We have wood floors and they are great for mobility and barf clean up (quite frequent here). I do agree with the noise factor we do a lot of tip toing here.

Ohhhh, the indoor ramp/stairs combo is AWESOME!! We did the exact same model with our back deck and plan to do a similiar model for the front porch for our 2 CP kids. It looks great!!!
