Just wanted to put a few more pictures up... Mom and Eli are both fine... they came home on Friday morning... I should only have to work on Monday, and then I'll be home the rest of the week... so far everything is fine... thank you for all your well-wishes and prayers... 

More pictures... 

More Pictures... 

Well he's a little early but not unwelcome... Elijah James was born today at 5:56am, 9lbs 4oz, 20 1/2 inches... Mom, Dad, and Baby are all fine... nothing out of the ordinary... we went into the hospital last night at about 8:00 when Chriss's water broke... not a lot of sleep but as I said we are just as happy to have Eli around... more to follow... but I need to get back to the hospital... :) 

I took last week off to spend it working on the basement... we felt that taking the time off would really give a kickstart to the project... I needed to finish the framing, do all the electrical, and hang the drywall... it was a good week and I got through most of it... I am starting to put drywall mud up and need to finish hanging in Noah's room... I am certain that I'll be busy with the project into December but we are hoping to be able to celebrate Christmas with the basement complete... or at the very least usable space... 

Another picture in the basement... 

Well, there it is... a very large stack of drywall for the basement... to be perfectly honest, I found someone to deliver it directly to the basement for me... no way was I going to try it all by myself...
