Kevin&Stephanie

The long-awaited golden birthday was April 26. It turned out to be a beautiful, enjoyable day. We spent pretty much the whole day together, enjoying eachother's company and relaxing. Kevin made a wonderful funfetti cake! We're still enjoying it! In the evening, we joined Stephanie's family for dinner at Carrabba's. It was delicious, but we were stuffed. Stephanie's 26th birthday also maked the exact date of becoming 7 months pregnant. Only 2 months to go!!

A little done here, a little done there, nothing really accomplished anywhere. Or at least that's how it feels. With Steph's due date rapidly approaching, the focus has shifted away from the parlor and onto the to-be nursery. Ain't them walls lovely folks? Yup. And guess who's job it is to fix them. Let me tell you, working with plaster is a pain in the rear. BUT it'll be great when there's actually a baby in there. Below is a picture of how thick the plaster is...granted this chunk came from an exterior wall (immensely helpful when the prison is being loud in the wee hours), which are about twice as thick as interior walls, but basically having concrete for walls makes for a wonderful sound dampener. So a few weeks ago I went down in the basement at night to take a shower when I saw this scurrying about the walls. It was creepy, and I promptly caught it and threw it out side. Can you blame me? Well, that night or the next day I went online and tried to figure...
