New Roof

Last Saturday we received a notice on our door that they'd begin re-roofing our apartment building on Monday.  We knew it was coming because they had already done about 5 other buildings in our complex, but I was dreading it.

I was so worried about Jake not being able to sleep through the people walking all over the roof and the nail guns with the power generators that his awesome Aunt Kim and Uncle Darrell said the two of us could come stay with them in Beaver Creek (Dayton area- about an hour away).  Our first sleepover with them!

So Sunday night we packed up and Andrew took us over.  Jake had a lot of fun exploring a new place and playing with Aunt Kim.

He also enjoyed watching football with Uncle Darrell.

When Tuesday evening came (after lots of fun and delicious dinners Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday) Kim and Darrell brought us half way back to Columbus and we met up with Andrew.  My sweet husband showed up with a huge grin, flowers, and chocolate for me!

And they weren't finished with the roof.  In fact, they just weren't finished right above our apartment.  So Wednesday we listened to them walk above our heads, scrape off the old roof, and use the nail gun to secure the new shingles in place.  It was loud, just like I expected.  But unlike I had expected, it didn't seem to phase Jake.  He slept like a baby while they were working right above his crib.  And when he played, he didn't even seem to even notice anything was different than usual.

And Thursday they did the clubhouse, right outside mine and Andrew's bedroom window.  Jake liked watching them work and probably would have all day if I'd have let him.

Now we have a new roof, know that Jake really can sleep through anything, and had fun spending a couple days with Kim and Darrell :)
