To Boston!

So it's a little last minute, but we decided to take Katie and Josh to Boston tomorrow for a baseball game at Fenway Park. Some friends of ours gave us four tickets that they won as part of a promotional give-away and we are taking them up on their offer. We are headed out in the morning with plans to be in Boston just before game time. Then, we also booked a hotel for the night so that we can take the kids to some of the other attractions on Sunday. Josh is pushing hard for the aquarium that he remembers from last time. Katie doesn't seem to remember her last trip so she isn't asking for anything specific but she is excited.

For news a little closer to home, the flooring is coming along. It was slow for a while as Larry carefully worked the floor under molding and through doorways, being careful not to crack our old plaster walls. But now one full room and the hallway are done and we have one, square, doorless room left to go and already started. He should finish it tomorrow while we are in Boston. Some areas of this floor have been extremely challenging and I'm glad that Larry was willing to do it. I never would have gotten as much done as he has.

Katie, had a very good day again today. Her numbers are way up so she can have all the visitors that she wants and she can play her heart out. That is just what she did today. Colleen brought her children, Travis and Abby, down to play today and they spent the day playing with every toy in the house. I'm pretty sure that all four kids are worn out. Josh counts as one of the four because this was his last day of 4H camp and they let the kids out at 2 o'clock instead of 4 o'clock. So he was able to spend most of the afternoon playing with Katie, Travis and Abby too.
