November... what?...is it over??

Our foundation was leaking and so the construction began. We were not expecting it to be so much remodeling but it had to be done. Mold, yucky wet carpets and wood paneling all had to go. This is the room all torn down. Canyon thought it was pretty awesome. He wanted to see the "rocks" everyday. Really it was plaster but he didn't know. John, his brother Nate, and our neighbor did the hard labor. I did the paint. Thank you Nate!! You are a lifesaver, thank you for teaching John some skills, now I can say John is not just a bike man.

Before

After

Canyon absolutely loves his new room. If you ask him if he likes it his face gets real bright, his smile gets huge and he says "yes, yes, yes I do."

So with the room done we played musical rooms here. Canyon went downstairs, Bridger went into the nursery upstairs and John got off the couch and is now back is our room. Yeah happy days at the Rogers house. Bridger is sleeping better through the night. I am now only waking up once at night to feed and back to bed I go. It is great to finally be getting some much needed sleep.

In the middle of the room construction was the crazy wind storm. We were out of power for about 48 hours. It was cold and dark. It felt like we were camping especially sporting these amazing head lamps. We survived the power outage but it sure made me think of better ways to be prepared. For example it would probably be a good idea to have the emergency gear in one spot so we don't have to go looking for it all. Just a thought.

Just a cute picture of Bridger. He is now sitting pretty well. I put him in the pack and play and this is what he looks like. His little face peaking over the side rail. So cute.

It's a miracle. Canyon fell asleep watching Cars. This is a first for him. He is so routine, he must be in his bed with his sippy cup and blanket. But not this day. Yeah.
