The light at the end of the T.R.P. tunnel

Yippee! We had tile layers today! They have laid a little over half of the terrace tiles as of 4:00. They are scheduled to complete the job next Thursday, but I don't get too excited about "schedules" until I see them packing up their tools. Unfortunately, the guys are quite jolly while they are working which makes for a touch-and-go napping situation for Lydia. I'm trying remind myself to be thankful that they're here doing the work and not stress out about the noise.

Brandon will be away this weekend, so prayers are appreciated for Lydia and I during our first weekend home alone. He will be traveling to Krakow, Poland with our pastor to visit the churches there. It will be a 7 hour train ride for him and he'll get back Sunday night. I wasn't able to find a babysitter for a break on Saturday, so I think we'll all be exhausted by the time Sunday rolls around! The good news is that the weather forecast looks wonderful so at least we can play outside and hit the park a time or two.
