...And We're Back...

Wow! It's hard to believe it's been one month since my last post. For those who don't already know, everything went great with our house closing, and my lack of posting has not been because we have been homeless living on the streets and singing for our food for the past 30 days. In reality, we have been INCREDIBLY busy, with moving, unpacking and family visiting for Thanksgiving. Regardless, I apologize for my lack of posts and for keeping you in suspense about whether or not we actually had a place to live.

Unpacking has been a sllllllooooowwwww process. Anyone who has a toddler will completely understand this. The fact that there are still boxes to be opened and things to be put away has definitely been a "monkey on my back," so to say. And just in case you need a visual of this, please note the following photo:

Mom: Trying to unload the dishwasher.
Theron: Trying to prevent mom from unloading the dishwasher.
Dad: How funny! Let's take a picture! (Basically, no help at all.)

(Of course, you can see from my face how truly irritated I am!)

Aside from the piles of empty boxes and piles of stuff waiting to find it's designated location, things have been going pretty well. Dennis has still been playing "stay at home dad" and doing a pretty good job of it. I can't say much for a whole lot of unpacking getting done, or housework for that matter, but he and Theron spend a lot of time playing, and that's really what's important.

Here are a couple of pictures of Theron, in a laundry hamper with his "Spongeball-Spherepants" ball. I am told he got in there all by himself, but I'm not completely convinced. Either way, he's having a blast, so I didn't inquire too much about the logistics.

Tomorrow my mom is packing up and heading down to Richmond for a couple of weeks, so hopefully I will have some pictures of the house soon. Anyone who knows my mom, knows that all the boxes should be unpacked and everything should be put away, by about, Thursday. Okay, that might be a little bit of an exaggeration, but I'll tell you what, she is quick and thorough. I know she will have it in ship-shape in no time!
