One of the great things about living in St. Louis is that you are pretty much guaranteed to have a basement no matter where you live. We had our own basement in the apartment we lived in for two years before moving into our house. The basement here is not finished, but it's still great to have double the space. In our case... it's really nice since we only have a two bedroom house. So... we made the big move this weekend in order to get ready for the baby... we moved Dan's office down into the basement. I feel so bad for him to have to move from a room that was basically all windows to a room that is no windows... but the nice thing is he finally has room for all of his books. We spent a good part of Saturday at Lowe's purchasing wood for his new bookshelves. He had them done by the end of the night. I had to apologize for mentioning several times that it would have been easier if we would have just bought them pre-made. I took a couple pictures to show the beginning stages of the office. We still have a bit of organizing to do.

On a completely different note... I had to post this picture of our cat George. We came home from work today and he was sitting in a pot on our next door neighbor's porch.

Our neighbor kindly feeds our cats daily... so they like to spend time at her house. It's kind of a long story that I probably shouldn't get into.
