We're Almost Done!

Josh and I were up until about 3am cleaning the house, but it's done and we're all packed and ready to go.  Grandma N. is out here with us and she's been a HUGE help with the boys while we get all the loose ends tied up.  Somehow we even managed to get some fun family time in, despite all the work :)  Today Josh has his final out and we're turning the house over... then we're done!  All we have left to do is get a power of attorney for our neighbor so she can ship Bosley later.  If I forgot to mention that, animals cannot fly if the high is 85 degrees or more on the flight date.  Heather and Jeff agreed to keep Bos for us for even a couple months if need be.  We have such great neighbors :D  Tonight I think we should all go to the drive-in and see "Up" :)  Mom leaves tomorrow... and I think we leave for Atlanta on Sunday.  We need to have a last hurrah with everyone!

This move has been really easy.  I know it may seem like it hasn't been, but it could have gone SO much worse than it has.  We have everything we wanted.  Our stuff is packed, we're all flying together, both vehicles are getting shipped, we will eventually have Bosley, and our flight is non-stop from ATL to MAD (at night, which is perfect when traveling with wee ones).  I'm very happy with how everything worked out for us.

Still Happy!! HOORAY!!

We're still going strong with our happiness levels out here. Yesterday was a little bit rough because Tristan was especially whiney, but today was amazing :) We got our grocery shopping done and even managed to have fun doing that! Noah and I were singing Christmas songs already while Tris and Bren laughed at us. Tristan sometimes piped in with a "all the way" when we were singing Jingle Bells. Noah was cracking up when I sang him the Batman version :D After all that excitement the 2 wee ones went down for their naps and Noah and I gave Bosley a bath with his new tea extract shampoo. He looks and smells so wonderful now :) He was in such a good mood after that too! Noah made a concoction of plum leaves, olives, dirt, and paper which he called "olive a cado". While he was doing his own grocery shopping I was taking some macro shots with my new focus point knowledge. I'm very happy. I thought I loved my camera before! Anyway... We also built a littl...

Almost Doesn't Count

We almost ended up with a puppy today. An adorable baby Jack Russell Terrier mix wandered into our yard. He was very sweet, laid back, flea-ridden, dirty, cute, a little broken, good temperament, un-fixed, and very very good with Noah and Emma. I asked the neighbors about him and they showed me where the owner lived. She took him inside and told me how he's driving her crazy because he chews through collars and gets out of the yard (which is because he's a puppy and not an outside breed). She mentioned possibly getting rid of him. Lo and behold he wandered back into our yard not too long after that... interesting. I wanted to adopt him because he was unwanted, but shouldn't have been. He was a very sweet dog. I would have called him Jackie I think :) This brings me to a rant. I know I've posted about the way people around here treat their pets. This is a perfect example. This lady didn't want the puppy anymore so she simply let it go. No collar, no tags...

Project 365: Jan 16 - 20

Image
Tuesday, January 16th - more snow and a cotton candy sunset. It wasn't much, but the ice beneath and timing of the snow itself  meant a snow day for the kids! Now that they're teenagers, that precious time is spent catching up on sleep, which makes working from home pretty easy for me. Wednesday, January 17th - the morning light changes throughout the year as the earth moves around the sun. In winter, it peeks in through my living room window and spotlights the entertainment center in warm light.  Thursday, January 18th - Braved the inch of ice on the ground to attend a legislative reception in Annapolis with my coworkers/friends. We spent the day networking, laughing, and planning to save our little section of the Chesapeake Bay watershed here in Southern Maryland. Friday, January 19th - Jug Bay snow day!!! The weather report called for snow to begin falling as school was supposed to just be getting started, so they announced cl...
