Swim Meet Hiatus

Due to a swim meet last night, little progress was made yesterday. I did work for a while in Bill's shop organizing stuff so it's easier to find tools and such, but that's about all we have to report for now. We have our friend, Jack, coming out tonight to eyeball the mud room drywall job, so hopefully we'll have drywall in the near future. We still haven't decided whether Bill's going to make the kitchen cabinets or if we're ordering them. We'll let you know once we decide.
Oh, and both boys swam great last night! Andrew beat almost every one of his previous best times! He was like lightning in the water without the bad side effects of that natural phenomenon. And Elijah swam really well, too. He's a powerhouse in the water--all muscle.
Tomorrow, we're making a special trip to pick up the newest addition to our family--a Great Dane puppy. Yes, we are completely insane, but that keeps life interesting (and stressful, and chaotic). We'll post pics of the puppy later on Thursday night. We're currently taking suggestions for names. On the table so far are: Tiny, Rufus, Otis, Felix, Seymore, Augustus, Max, Thor, Pavlov (ha, ha), Neptune, Woodrow, Ares, and Stockwell. You are welcome to share other suggestions or vote for your favorite! (I'm leaning toward Augustus because then I could call him Gus, but we may have to wait until he's in the house for a day or two to really know his personality.) Let us know your pick for a name!
