Falyn’s Feet on Her High Chair


Falyn always puts her feet up on the tray of her high chair. I think it is so cute! Of course I had to take pictures of it.

Speaking of her high chair, yesterday afternoon she walked over to it and said “hungry” (sounded more like “ungry”). How adorable is that? I put her in the high chair and gave her some goldfish.

The pile of trash in front continued to grow yesterday as the plumber and electrician arrived to start work.

The plumber started running the sewer line to the new bathroom. These had to go through the garage and will eventually be hidden behind a wall.

They also had to run them up the ceiling in the garage.

In the bathroom, they got the drain for the toilet in place.
