I think some gender differences start in infancy . . .for example pain tolerance. Men and little boys cannot handle pain! Trevor and Darby are like night and day with their teething experience. I could never really tell when Darby was cutting teeth, I could feel them and see them, but she never really acted differently. Trevor on the other hand is out of control! Crying and whining and lower lip pouting like he's never experienced pain like teeth pushing through before . . .okay so maybe he hasn't. He's pretty miserable the little wuss :) He's definately getting his bottom two teeth already which is way earlier than Darby. As long as he's not a biter, I'm cool with that :)
So things have been pretty busy for us lately. Erich's parents are here helping us demolish the house, which is a good thing. I wish we would've taken before pictures of the ugliest bathroom ever before we demolished but it will forever be ingrained in my memory . . .yuck! Erich and Rich have been getting rid of our popcorn ceiling (what were they thinking in the 70s?!?) and Anna and I are getting rid of the horrible wallpaper in the entire house (again, what were they thinking?!?). Now comes the fun and chaotic part, putting everything back together again. I'm a little overwhelmed with all my choices, I'm just really good at knowing what I DON'T want, not so good at picking what I DO want. Anyways, we're pushing to get most of the stuff done by next week, a non-attainable goal without Anna and Rich, they are godsend. More on the progress later :)

Molly! We immediately scraped the popcorn off our ceiling in our new house and now we are dealing with how to make the ceiling nice and flat. We finally found a solution and it looks so much better! I sympathize with the joys (or pain!) of scraping the ceiling!
The rest of the work sounds like a lot, too, but it will all be worth it in the end.
Love ya!
