I'm gonna go ahead and leave out many of the juicy details about laying the tile floor.  I'll leave that to Kristen.  We did get it done before my family arrived last week.  There are a few things we learned and will do differently next time but overall the floor does look quite a bit better than it did.  It was much more work than I thought it would be, but once you start ripping up a floor there is no turning back.

Kayla and I had a fun time last night.  I hooked up the bike trailer and we headed down to a rec area by the lake.  We found an acorn that was starting to sprout a tree.  I'd never seen that before.  We then threw acorns at a goose that was in the water.  Slightly childish behavior but I found it fun.  Yes, I did hit it once before it flew away.

Last week my Dad, Mom, and one of my sister's visited.  It was very nice to have them all here.  The house stayed much cleaner with more hands on deck.  Food was also vastly improved.  Come back anytime!
