Now that summer is well underway, I figured I should probably post an update about our spring as it has been a busy one! It was a season of change, and here are some of the highlights.
We learned this spring that Eliza is going to be a BIG SISTER! Our second and final baby is on the way and expected in late October. We have since learned that it’s a boy and are excited to be lucky enough to get one of each. (This was going to be the finale either way. Two is our limit!) Eliza is excited to meet her baby brother, and enjoys giving him hugs, kisses and tickling him through Mom.
We had been hoping to have another baby and when it became official, so did our need of more space and another bedroom. After weighing all our options, we decided the most practical and economical was to finish our basement. It has been a work in progress, and I’ll probably post more of the particulars on it later, but here are a few shots of what has been done so far.

Making progress! 
Anybody else’s basement a catch-all?! 
After the furnace install and new paint! 
New Stairs!
We celebrated Eliza’s second birthday in May with a waffle breakfast! We decided to keep it low key, and it was perfect. She got to see a bunch of her favorite people and play outside. It is hard to believe she’s already two, and so fun watching her turn into a little person with likes, dislikes, and one heck of a personality.
Those are the major highlights from Octane Acres this spring! Thanks for visiting!
