The Sweetest Words in the English Language
Just may be "It's the plumber. I've come to fix the sink." . . . and the shower, and the tub, and the faucet . . . absolutely sublime. Last Monday we had the plumber over for five hours, connecting all of the fixtures and when he was done, we had a bathroom! YAY!
Some other pretty sweet words are "Mom, can I have a 'peterjelly' sandwich and then can I have a bath?" The new tub has been very popular with everyone -- even the baby. But my favorite part is without a doubt the slow-close lid on the toilet. The sound of silence where a slamming seat once was. There is a design genius somewhere out there and I'd like to personally thank him for my sanity.
We got our vanity the same day, and because we have great Samoan neighbors who were willing and able to put 380 lbs. up the stairs and into the bathroom, we got it installed too. It isn't perfect (Rob is already scheming about a new marble counter in green), but it works and it has 3 times as many drawers as we had before. It's revolutionalized the storage in there. Maybe we'll put up a picture if I can strongarm my husband into mounting the mirror tomorrow.

Congrats on having all the plumbing done! We had a whole lot done in a day and a half a few months ago and it was somewhat life-changing -- I just wish the other home repairs we need to do could happen so quickly.
