We got home a few hours ago with Addisyn. Daddy took the kids to soccer, so it is just me and Addisyn. Her air compressor has already gotten on my nerves. It is going to make me lose my mind!

I put Shelby's on a long tube, so that it was usually one room away from us, behind a shut door!!! Good luck with everything. So glad y'all are home.

Get that compressor away!!

We cut a little hole in our bedroom door, and ran a longer tube out to the hall. Be sure to put it on some padding. Anything to make that horrible noise better!!

Welcome home. You will learn to tolerate the compressor to the point it becomes background noise. Are you up for pictures???? Karen
