Yeah, so, remember that little incident I mentioned yesterday about our washing machine flooding our Laundry Room? It turns out that what we thought was no biggie was bigger than we realized. This morning Braydon went down to the basement to the Guest Room to get something, and upon opening the door, this (above photo) was what he saw. So, yeah, the Guest Room is directly below the Laundry Room. Parts of the ceiling have fully collapsed and others are severely water-damaged to the point where the whole thing will need to be replaced. Yeah, so now we have that to deal with.

In other update-related-news, Meera’s room was today transformed from Baby Room to Big Girl Room. I could cry a river. Everyone pitched in to pull it off. And pull it off we did. In the place where her crib once was is the same bed that Big Brother Kyle first moved into after he graduated from a crib too (the same twin bed that I slept on growing up). We completely re-arranged Meera’s room, took out some baby stuff and put in some ‘new’ (hand-me-down-from-K&O) big-kid-stuff. It is all oh-so-bitter-sweet for four of the five of us. But for one of us — Little Miss that is — it is all sweet and no bitter. She is beside herself with thrill and excitement over all of this. She got right in her bed for her first nap in it this afternoon. And fell right to sleep in it tonight too. We’ll see how the rest of the night goes… but regardless, she loves it.

And now, back to continuing to try to get life back on track. Over and out.
Have not had an opportunity to read for a few weeks, it was so great to catch up and see all of these fabulous travels and updates (and the not so fabulous news) — it is a wild ride, isn't it?
I'm EXHAUSTED just reading these two updates. Like Meera- I'm going to bed!
omg. When it rains, it pours, and damages your ceilings. Best wishes on getting everything back on track.
