We’ve been working for the past week on laying tile in a large portion of our house. We replaced the linoleum peal and stick tile floor that was in the kitchen with ceramic. While we were at it, we did the hallway to our bedroom, laundry room, and the kids’ school room too. We did the grout last night. We are working on putting back all of the baseboard now and putting things back where they belong. Overall, it was approximately 900 square feet of tile, so not a small job. I did have some help from some close friends here though. Friends are great.
Traci went away to Orlando last weekend for a homeschool convention. She really enjoyed it. There were a bunch of different speakers there that gave her plenty of options to choose what kind of material she wanted to hear more about. She enjoyed the break, and I enjoyed the time with the kids. We worked together on the floor and spent time together. It was great. I guess I don’t realize how much my relationship with the kids is different than the closeness that Traci enjoys by being close with the kids each day. While she was gone for 4 days, it was nice to get to spend all of that time with the kids. I’ll admit that it is a challenge to lay flooring with three little ones running around, but this weekend made me realize all the more how much i love being a Dad and cherish the family that I have. I’m so thankful for God for all that He has given to me and this opportunity to spend more time together with my family... Enjoying them.
