Wednesday was another indoor office day for Phil. The only thing of real excitement was that Caleb turned over three times in a row. He hasn't done it since, but we were all very proud of him.
Phil ran errands almost all day today, including picking up the hearth we ordered and the chimney. The hearth was far too heavy for me to help him carry, so he used the tractor to bring it down, put it on his boot tops and rocked his way inside. We slid it along the floor on cardboard, and gently set it in place. I don't know what it would take to get it up again.
Phil and my sister had scooted the wood-burning stove inside, once the tractor had moved it to the French doors. It has sat against the wall for the last two months, so when Phil pushed it to the hearth, and then somehow manhandled it, miraculously, into place, both the empty wall looked surprising, and the reading nook did, too.
I look forward to the day that the screens and trim are all hung, the assorted tools are put away, and the boxes of random books find a home. There will be so much more space then!
Isaiah made an interesting design today on the Etch-a-Sketch. It's the interior of a plane: three windows, three seats, and the row of lights at the floor.
