The Donovans

I had to work the first night the Kilps got into town. This particular week, I had to work 3 12hr shifts in a row, luckily for me, it was during day light savings, so we were trying to push Branko's bedtime a little bit later to make the transition easier, therefore, I got to see him the last night of the stretch and put him to bed. It was so fun to see his reaction after not seeing him for 3 days. We did get to FaceTime on the last day :) I wish I could upload videos a little bit easier on this blog, because I have a cute one of Branko's reaction when I got home that night.  Auntie Karen got to squeeze in some snuggles with our rosy cheeks guy.  "I'm confused, you look like my mom and Auntie Jodi."

We found a guy on Facebook to do it for us, we got a few quotes and he was MUCH more reasonable than the contractors at the Floor/Tile/Decor store. We just had to buy the supplies and they came over and did the labor. We weren't supposed to get it done until the end of March, but they were able to squeeze us in between jobs. They were here for about 10 hours, it would've taken Patrick and I weeks to do it ourselves. We're very happy with how it turned out, next up, new kitchen floors. Actually, next was a car, which we got a 2018 VW Atlas yesterday! I don't have any pictures of it yet. Those will come soon! (Kitchen pictures will be...
