No new photos or anything, but some news here:
The construction here is going pretty well. We have a room now (or at least the frame of a room) where the roof deck used to be. Laundry is a pain though- you have to trek through a temporary trapdoor to the upstairs, ducking and crawling while carrying your load because a basket is too bulky. Fine if the clothes are dirty, but you'd better be careful when they're clean! And of course there's no power upstairs right now and we operate the washing machine with about 10 extension cords strung together. The dryer keeps blowing the fuse out so we have to air dry everything on racks in our bedroom. Which means one load per day or else we have no place to dry it. And we can't do the load until the workers leave since they need the power from the extension cords. And there's no power, so no lights. So you'd better get the clothes from the washer before it gets dark or it's tough to navigate your way down and keep them clean!
On to better (but maybe not as comical) news--- Nils is completely toilet trained in quite a short time! We went swimming last week and today and the kids loved it. I want to get them into lessons during the school year. The pool is a public one but spotless and brand new. So we get cheap facilities that aer well maintained too- bonus!
Nils has been going through a bit of a rebellious period lately. He does a lot of creameing and shouting to anyone in his voice range (a lot of people then) and places his hands on his hips and says "go straight to bed!" or "time out on the sofa!" You know who he must sound like then- uh oh.
I'll try to get some construction photos in this week.
