And the construction has begun!!!!!!

The long awaited addition has finally begun. On Monday our entire upstairs was gutted, I mean, down to the studs gutted. It was crazy, at 9:00am it was the same house I had always known, and at 1:00 it was completely different up there. It pretty much just looks like an attic now, but what kind of photographer would I be without showing you photos?
OK so you can't really tell but to describe what's going on again, we live in a small cape with one bathroom... the upstairs bedrooms are very small with little or no closet space and no bathroom upstairs. So we are blowing out the back of the house adding a dormer, making the bedrooms (and closets) bigger and also adding a full bath. We are so excited, but just can't wait for it to be over!
This weekend I had a batmitzvah at the Washington Club in Washington, CT... talk about in the middle of no where. You know that when you pass 19 antique shops on one 5 mile road that you are in a different place. It actually was beautiful but didn't provide me with much to do in my 3 hours off. Needless to say the transformation from day to night was unbelievable. Arrangements flowers and gifts did an amazing job.
I am just about to post Michelle and Jim's slide show so check the page at some point today to see it.
In other news Kacey's wake and funeral was last week. It was so sad seeing her little body in that little coffin, but she is in a better place now and pain free. If any of you are intersted in becoming a bone marrow donor, remember it could save lives... here is the info:
