In the White Room

We haven't picked out the curtains yet.


The dingy grey walls of the basement are on their way out. Actually, by now the first coat is nearly done and the second will be started once I finish this post. Once the walls are done, we can begin making this part of the basement into living space that does not resemble a dungeon. This Dry-lok product goes on well and is low-odor. It's also heavy and around $20 per gallon, but it will be worth it in the end. The basement is already much brighter.

Mom couldn't wait another week to see the girls, yet Papa Bill was still down with a sore throat. That wasn't stopping Nana Peggy. She had a good time playing with the girls and we were grateful for the break. Addie and Nana were even able to play outside on Saturday before the cold front came through, knocking the temperature down to the single digits.



And with all this going on, Emily was able to get some sewing done. She is working on a package deal with another Etsy shop owner.


And, that tiny baby continues to grow up on us. She's been playing on the playmat about once per day and loves it.


Last, but certainly not least, Purdue upended 8th ranked Wisconsin 72-67, to take sole possession of the top spot in the Big Ten. This was just the 7th home loss for the Badgers under the helm of Bo Ryan. It was also the second time this season that Purdue beat them. Sorry, Bo, we're all broken up about this.


I'm pretty sure he was saying, "BOILER UP!"
