Well, I FINALLY figured out how to upload pictures onto Dale and Vanessa's computer without completely losing them afterward. I am so attached to my own computer, I have forgotten how to use others... Oh well, hopefully this will be a very temporary problem and we will be able to move into our house SOON. We have been playing and fighting with cousins (mostly Lullaby has been fighting over Linnaea's baby dolls) and coloring with chalk and having lunch picnics, and talking about missing Daddy, and even going to the Lego Store to entertain the kiddies. They are restless and excited about this new house we keep talking about, but never moving into. :) Paul and his brother Dale, and his parents have been HARD at work in our house getting the new floors in and fixing all the things that needed to be fixed before we can move in. Tomorrow, they are taking their first day off since we got here. Paul and Dale have come home with injuries from the tiles flipping up and slashing their legs and everyone has come home exhausted at the end of each day. Meanwhile, Hawken got sick (throwing up, diarrea, fever, you name it), then Matix did, and now we are waiting to see if Lulli gets it. They are NOT happy campers when they are sick. Poor things. And they want their dad, and he has been gone from before they wake up until after they are alseep. We did venture down there to the house to see the progress one of the first days, when Hawken was still recovering, hence the blankie and no pants... Apparently, Hawk feels better when he wears less clothing... I don't know what the projected finish date is, but it is highly anticipated! Sweet Vanessa and Dale are letting us crash here while we wait and we are so thankful! Anyway, here is the playroom floor going in:
Here is the nasty pile of old carpet in the living room. This is Matix's nasty face:
This will be Matix's room. We have decided to have the boys be in their own rooms for a while until they get better about sharing and having good behavior at night.
And this is the giant Penske truck in our driveway... GIANT. Paul and I have decided we have too much crap. Really, this is too much stuff. Anyway, here it is. :)
Now, the kids are asleep and everyone else is gone, working or playing or something... But I am alone and bored to death. Leave me a comment to keep me entertained. :)

You still up? It was fun chatting on gmail. I love the floor!
The floor really looks pretty. sorry to hear that the boys have been sick. That is really no fun. I know you all will be so GLAD to have everything done and your family moved into your new house. It sounds like everyone will need a vacation of doing NOTHING, BUT PLAY, for at least a week when things are done.
Bummer. Waiting is hard. The floor looks way good though! We need to Skype sometime soon. :)
Oh my word, Jessie! Moving is such a huge hassle. Congrats for making it with 3 kids and one on the way. And how awesome so many people have been helping you! We are totally sad that you didn't stop through Vegas but hopefully we'll be able to meet up sometime in the future. We miss you guys. Good luck with unpacking and getting set up, we are so very happy for your family!
Ugh kids should have some kind of internal system or somethign that makes it so there is no vomiting during stressful times!! I feel your pain, and hope lullaby does not get it!
The floors are looking good! I'm so jealous that you are able to do so much fixing up BEFORE moving in. We always tend to do it while we are living in the house and that is really hard. Then again, I haven't done a big project with kids for a really long time. I sure excited for you to have so much help! Awesome!
