Before/After of basement steps! We also got a new HVAC system and hot water heater 👍.

We were with these families all during flood restoration, so we figured the boys could probably play together, at least for a little while…

We got buddies for our chick today 🐥🐥🐥🐥. And we took a bike ride past piles and piles of basement belongings 😢.

And a happy event today - a chick hatched!! 🐥

We have amazing friends 😊❤️
