Finished concrete

This week we finished off the concrete counter. We got sick of waiting for our friend to come over and help, so we read everything we could find and went for it ourselves. The color is not exactly as we wanted, but I think we’re just happy it’s done.



It’s kind of scary because when the acid stain dried, it left a white residue that didn’t wash off after we neutralized and cleaned it. You can’t see the final color until it’s sealed. So you just have to hope that it’s the right color.

AJ went to the doctor this week for a checkup. He’s 47 pounds and 4’1” tall. That puts him in the 25% for weight and the 75% for height. The concern we had was that he was wheezing when the doctor tried to listen to his lungs. So we don’t know if he has asthma (which wouldn’t be a shock given his health history) or if he just has some virus causing it. So he’s doing breathing treatments all week to see if it gets better.

Oh, and Joe convinced me to eat raw fish on our date.
