GOOD AND BAD NEWS

Sorry its been awhile, but we have been without a computer. I will explain that in the bad news portion of this post. To start with the good news; Madisyn got 7 inches of hair cut off yesterday. She is donating it to locks of love and she is so excited. Here are the before and after pics.

And now for the bad news. On Sunday the kids and I came home to a flood in our house. The upstairs toilet had clogged and the handle was stuck down . The toilet was spilling 2 gallons of water per minute for two hours. Thers is lots and lots of damage. The kitchen nook, the dining room table, and kitchen island are all ruined. The dining room, kitchen, upstairs bathroom, Aidans room, the hallway, and the basement all had 2-3 inches of water in them. The kitchen and dining room ceilings have to come down and all the flooring except the kitchen has to come up. Thank goodness our insurance will cover the damage. So I am gearing up for a long summer full of contractors and workers...the kids are already going crazy and we have only been through 3 days of demo. But we will get through it everything happens for a reason!!!
