In the midst of a busy spring for Jon and I at work, we were greeted Wednesday evening to a water leak in our basement that got worse before it got better. Wednesday night, as the rain continued outside, water flowed in the basement. Every few minutes the shop vac would suck up the water, only to have it come flowing back in. After a restless night, Jon was in line at Menard's as it opened to get a replacement sump-pump which seemed to do the trick. Now, the water is gone, but left is mold damage and the decision to replace the old carpet, or try to salvage it.

| Carpet's pulled up and saved for the most part...now the pad had to go. |
 |
| A suggestion from a friend...a caulk line dawn around the worst area...this gave Jon the chance to sleep a bit by containing the water. |
But, prior to the rain there was some sunshine and some chances to get outside and enjoy it. No matter what, we know its important to enjoy this time we have while he is little. Vinnie is the bright light in our lives. He is what forces us to step outside of the stress and step away from the troubles and play. He helps us remember how blessed we are to have what we have, and that we can get through this bump and that leak and come out on the other end much stronger. Prayers for a dryer and happier spring!
