We had a great time with Auntie Claire this week. She camped out with Amelie in the blackberry patch, and then with Abigail in our new backyard in Marquette. She helped the girls with the paint designs for their rooms, and did some painting with them. No surprise, the designs and colors are very different!
Naomi and I made some progress with painting the ceilings and our livingroom. Our goal is to get the south side of the house done and the carpets cleaned this week. We also were looking into where to get a Volvo serviced, and the garage we talked to said they could do most stuff, but not everything. On our way out, I saw a lady leaving who had the exact same vehicle we are looking for. She said finding someone to fix it can be tricky, but she thinks its worth the hassle to have such a great car. What are the chances??
We also made some progress with our drivers licenses. Passed the written test and got temporary permits. Now we need to schedule the road test. Naomi opened up a bank account as well. Good to make some progress with this stuff.
Yesterday we said goodbye to Auntie Claire. Her flight was delayed, so we spent some extra time at the airport before visiting the ski jump and a nice river. Then we went to the Home Depot (sure wish MQT had one) and I picked out a couple tools. Got a great deal on a drill and an impact driver. Decided to go with Makita.
