I'm hoping its like the military....

I'm hoping the organization/cleaning process is something like the military----break it down then build it back up. We are most definitely nearing the complete "break it down" phase. This place looks disasterous! But, we're making progress. Brian put together his workshop bench/hutch which looks wonderful. I think we'll still need another cabinet or something fit all of it, but its definitely coming together. The finished part of the basement---well, thats in a holding pattern. We know what we want to do but its a matter of taking the first step of starting the project. We've picked out the paint, the layout, the furniture from IKEA....now its just up to picking a time to start that project.

This weekend was very nice. We had the kids and we made a trip to Amy and Chris' for their son's baby naming ceremony. It was very nice. I've been to a lot of baptisms over the years and they are so impersonal. This was very much the opposite. The entire family had a part in the ceremony. Amy's blog has a picture of cutie Carter all dressed up in his baby tux! :)

Your place has to start out like a disaster before you can get to the end result. When you are halfway done, you will really notice the progress. Glad things are getting there. BTW, you did your part well on Saturday....yes, I agree about the cake!
