Quick Updates

• Zeke started going to school full days this week, starting yesterday. He fell asleep in Social Studies.

• On Thursday, Zeke's casts come off in St Paul.  They'll also take lots of X-rays and then we meet with the doctor and physical therapist.

• Baby's mom's court date is postponed again so no court this Wednesday. Looks like another month or so before the next court hearing. Baby will be staying with us for quite a while longer.
• Steve and I cut a giant hole in the wall underneath our stairs between Riley's closet and the storage room. Reason: to eventually make more room for all the people in our house. 1100 sq ft can go a long way if you divide it correctly. We're trying to make the best use of our space. Our storage room is the size of a bedroom but there's no window and we accessed it through the laundry room. So we're going to put a wall up to divide the storage room in half. The back half will be a closet that is accessed through the closet in Riley's room. Steve and I will move down to Riley's room but the room itself is only big enough to fit our bed. We'll use the new "closet" we'll build to hold our dressers and clothes. Then Riley can move into the little girls room upstairs and the girls can move into the bigger master bedroom. Part of the problem is that the baby has been sleeping in a pack-and-play crib, which was fine when she was really little and we didn't know how long she would be staying. Now we need to set up the crib for her and even with my great organizational skills, there just isn't enough room for both of them plus Grandma Sandy in the room they are currently in.  Hopefully, the project won't cost too much since we'll just be doing it ourselves. I just need to finish cleaning out the storage room.
