It's been a busy two days...my folks are almost here, so it was a case of getting our there and getting things ready. Most of the "big"stuff is done, like buying and building a day bed from our friendly neighborhood IKEA :-). Actually a very nice, super comfortable couch and bed. When "deployed" it is a king-sized bed! The memory-foam mattresses are superb too. The kids have already been taking test-naps and Eugene had a three-hour sleep on it today before the bedding was put on.
