Sorry for the infrequent posting, but things have been really busy here.
My most recent project is the basement. When we moved in, I had basically everything that we didn't know what to do with, put into the basement workshop/storage room. So, now that we've got the main level and upstairs essentially in shape (except for the breakfast room), I've been concentrating on organizing the basement and storage room. Here's what it looks like now:

Of course, I had to make some special additions:
The basement would not be complete without a Colts shrine.

And then there's the workshop/storage room. Without having seen the before pictures, you really won't get the transformation - so these pics are mainly for my dad:
The area now resembles a workshop and storage area, rather than an overflowing dumping ground.

I also uploaded a bunch more Lily photos, to her Nine Month and Ten Month sets. She's been as adorable as ever, learning new things such as clapping, drinking through a straw, and trying to climb the stairs. But of all the photos, this one has to be the best:
Lily gives such sweet kisses. Also, note mommy's cute new hairdo!

I don’t think I have had a sweeter kiss than that one! She always gives the best kisses!
And good job on the basement baby! You have worked so hard and it shows! I love you!
I love organization projects; it looks like you did a great job! But, where’s the Bengals shrine? You ARE part of a Cinti. family now, too!
Absolutely LOVE the pictures! She is the cutest 10 month old on the face of the planet!!! Love those expressions she gets on her face – I was LOL!!!
Forgot to tell you the basement looks fabulous! Also noticed the St. Louis picture and lots of decorative elements upstairs – Great job! Love all of you.
Mel, Steph will eventually add some Bengals flair, but only the Colts will be enshrined! 🙂
Nana, I’m biased, but I agree: Lily is the cutest 10 month old, ever. I just don’t know where she gets the facial expressions, though…
We can’t wait for you to come back out to see how the house is coming along. With the pictures up and more decoration, it feels more and more like home!
