Just in the nick of time

The carpet went in last night, and it is lovely! There was one problem, and that had to do with a really boneheaded mistake I had made the night before on the floor ... instead of having a nice level floor, I ended up with an unsightly mound of concrete right in the middle of my floor!

I had planned to rectify this tonight, but five minutes after I walked in the door, the power went out! There goes my night of productivity!

Luckily, the carpet made the basement a great place to camp out while we waited for the power to come back on.  The rest of the house was pretty much unbearable in the near-100 degree heat.

And we got to camp out in our new basement! Which was much more enjoyable than the work I had planned to do.

Annalia Kathleen Rayo!

She has arrived, she has arrived! In what is indeed Rayo Family News, Bryan and Sarah have had their child, and she is beautiful.

Her name is Annalia Kathleen Rayo, and she was born on August 19th, 2007, at 10:51 in the morning (or somewheres about there). If memory serves, then she was born at 7 lbs. 6 oz and measured 19 1/2 inches (and if I'm wrong, correct me).

Bryan and Sarah are doing quite well, although they're just getting used to The Tired. You know The Tired, right? I'm just getting used to it myself.

I'll let them tell the gory details themselves. Check them out at http://littlerayo.blogspot.com/. It won't be updated for at least a couple of days ... they're not even home yet!
