Playing House and other eventful things

Our house is slowly coming together as we finish projects and keep unpacking one box at a time.  On top of all our projects and settling in we're trying to pack in all the fun we can before the summer officially ends and Richard is back at school.

Our friend Matthias is staying with us for a while and not only is he quick to help out but it is really wonderful to have the chance to visit with him after such a long time.  All three of us (plus Wicket) went up to Oshkosh for Gallery Walk this past Saturday.  There was very little walking to be done for us as we would move only a few feet before Wicket had charmed someone else into petting and playing.  We did visit Atomic Katz and saw Pam's new jewelry, and met with Pam and her husband Joe at Peabody's for a drink after the walk just before heading home.

On the home-front the bathroom is now completely functional but still needs a few finishing touches before it's really done.  Just some baseboards and a few paint touch ups and I may even be ready to share pictures.  So now the kitchen overhaul begins.  The cabinets were delivered earlier today, and we've already begun the demolition.  Fortunately the Richard and Matthias will be doing the heavy lifting and cabinet removal tomorrow while I'm at work.

This weekend Richard and I journey up to Green Bay for a wedding, making it the first time we will leave Wicket overnight with someone.  Fingers crossed that everything goes smoothly, both at the wedding and for the little pup.
