Kent’s parents came to visit us for 2 weeks in September; they arrived on August 28. Mary helped take care of Erik so that Kelli could get other chores/tasks done (such as starting this blog!). Roger was able to help Kent get a lot of the wiring done for our surround sound system and fixed the intercom system in the house. They also helped us put together the entertainment center, hang a TV on the wall in the master bedroom, set up our desk in the craft/all purpose room and rip out some of the trees in our patio area that needed to be removed before we can replace the pool deck.
Our new roof has been completed and we are moving on to our next project - redoing the pool deck and resurfacing the pool. The current pool deck has several planter areas cut out of the decking; the largest one is next to the house. Unfortunately, any water run-off from the roof falls right into the planter area and the soil eroded so much that the deck had shifted and sunk on one side. The planter box soil erosion has also provided the perfect access route from the yard into our deck for rodents - eeww.
Erik’s accomplishments so far this month are smiling socially, turning his head towards sounds, going to sleep at night without crying and learning to actually like his bath rather than screaming through the entire process. After Grandma & Grandpa Johnson left, Erik has also had to adapt to being just with Mommy during the day!
