We have long been anticipating replacing the downstairs carpeted areas with hardwoods, and today marked day one of the process.  This project will be well worth the disruption, but a leave from routine is always hard on kids, especially Delaney who takes two solid naps a day.  Our plan is to keep things as close to normal as possible, but I know we may have to make different arrangements during particularly noisy times.  Franny and Cole are finding it all very exciting.  Kids are so funny—just being able to wear their shoes in the house and stomp around on the floorboards was tremendous fun to them.  Delaney did enjoy watching them, but unfortunately, had to spend all her time in her high chair since the floor is no longer safe for her cute army crawl.  The next couple of weeks are going to be an adventure, that is for sure!
