Updates

This morning some of Bobby's  great nieces and nephews stopped by for a few minutes. They immediately headed to the toy room and were quite  baffled when they encountered this:

 I find it funny that they went through the empty living room and didn't notice anything amiss.

 Two friends came over last night and put the bed back together. It took us over an hour to get it filled, but we we able to sleep in it last night. After 8 nights of getting up every 2 hrs, it was amazingly wonderful to sleep through most of the night.

Since everything was mostly packed and or in different locations, (and I was exhausted), it took forever to get Bobby ready Sunday morning. By the time he left for church, I sat down to just rest a few minutes before I started washing clothes and unpacking our suitcases. When I went out to the car for the last bag, I noticed this:

 Our birds weren't upright nor running around the pen. Sometime during the night we had a slaughter. 9 dead, three missing. So about the time Bobby got home from church I was halfway through hauling the carcasses to the woods.

We have a few eggs from this week that haven't been refrigerated yet, so the incubator is now heating up. Hope to have the eggs inside by tomorrow morning.

One very pleasant surprise Sunday morning was to look up and see my brother-in-law had repaired a very loose light hook in my bedroom ceiling. 

Since we couldn't get back in our house until 1pm on Saturday, I honestly thought we might not get the bedroom painted (which we were aiming for since everything was out). But they came over Saturday evening and knocked it out while I worked on trimwork in the study.

And the floors look great. We are 99% pleased with the job, especially with the flat and more accessible boards they used at the entry/exit of each room.

Meanwhile, I am putting small pieces of furniture back in place and doing laundry. Our friends are coming back tonight to finish moving the rest. I am so thankful (and so ready to get back into a routine!)
