The joys of raising Dane & Drake.

We are finally in!

Hello everyone. We've moved. We've all had some adjusting to do and Tabitha (our Tom Cat) gave the ultimate sacrafice-he suffered a stroke/heart attack late Saturday night. I found him Sunday morning and as Dane says "Kitty died, mommy was sad, she cried." Dane talks about wanting to go back to our "other home" and says, "I want to go that way." pointing left as I go past our old exit on the interstate to our new house. When we went back to our old house to clean after we moved Dane said, "Put it back mommy." He was standing in his empty room and wanting his bed back in there. He's still at the age where he's easily re-directed, so I just start talking about his new blue room and Drake's new green room. It usually works *smile* Ever get the e-mail about goldfish having a 3-second attention span?...it's kind of like that!

Drake finally has his own room and sleeps in his own crib instead of the bassinet in our room or in our bed if I'm too lazy to put him back when I finish nursing him. The 1st night was a long one for everyone, but Dane who slept through everything. The 2nd night Drake woke up once at 3 am and went back to sleep after Andy gave him his pacifier. There is light at the end of the tunnel!

Andy has had alot on his plate; right now he's trying to finish getting the bedrooms carpeted; the boys' rooms are done. He's also working on getting shelving put in the pantry and linen closets. I hung a shower curtain rod in Dane's closet to hang their clothes on...so far it's only fallen once. Note to self, there's probably a weight limit on those things :)

I've been unpacking a couple boxes a day during nap times. Yesterday, though I didn't feel like working on the house so I took Dane and Drake to the Science Center. Since I thrive on organizing things, this hasn't been tough for me. I am absolutely loving organizing the rooms with the furniture and once the trim work is finshed being painted I'll hang all the pictures up. I don't like the packing and moving, but I enjoy the unpacking part.

T-Bone & Zeke have a big 3 acre lot to run on, but with all the rain we are mean and limit their play time outside; call us crazy, but we don't want our new hard-wood floor all muddy....yet.

Last weekend we got our picture taken with the Easter Bunny. And just like with Santa, Dane wouldn't let go of Daddy, so it became a family photo instead of just the boys. I'll send out pictures of our house when I locate the camera. Till then, Happy Easter.

    Congrats on finally getting into the new house. I can't wait to see the pictures. Mikie is the same with as Dane with Santa and the easter bunny. We didn't get his picture with the Easter Bunny but he freaked out when we say him.

    Glad to hear that things are going good.
    Take care!!
