you know that you've really become a grownup when you're excited about new carpet.

we got carpet installed in our basement on friday, and it looks GREAT! i'm so pleased. eamon and i ran around in circles enjoying the new rec room. it's funny, because it cost about as much as simple oversea vacation (meaning, not an elaborate one with lots of frills), and compared to a holiday carpet seems very dull. but when i'm there i feel excited thinking about our kids playing in that space. the forts and imaginative play :) joy and i practically lived in our rec room/play room as kids, and i can't imagine growing up without it.

it makes me happy. and what a relief! we're really starting to see the results of our hard work around here.
