Home Again, Home Again...

As I mentioned on the blog back in September, when we returned home from our beach vacation our house was flooded due to a ruptured supply line to the ice maker.  For five weeks we lived with John's parents.  They were so great to let us stay for so long and understood that we couldn't imagine staying in a hotel with the boys for that long, but I'm sure they were ready for some piece and quiet now that we're gone! :)
At this point there is still a little bit more work that has to be done on the house, but it can be done while we are living in it.  We ended up having to move all of our belongings completely out of the house, and to a warehouse, and then back into the house, which has led to unpacking consuming a lot of my time in the past weeks. 
Not many people move into the SAME house TWO times in ONE year, but we did...and we lived to tell about it!  Hah!  The "flood" incident was a big ordeal, and if I acted like everything went smoothly throughout the process of moving out and back in this would be a far cry from the truth...but in the end we're back in our house and everyone is safe and happy, and that's what matters. :) 

I didn't have a picture applicable

to this posting, since a picture of a pile

of boxes isn't too interesting.  This picture

was the best I could do.  When we were out

of the house, we would make almost daily trips

by to see what progress had been made.

One day, we didn't expect the new hardwood

to have been put down, but when I stopped by

it was all in!  I was so excited progress had been

made I snapped this picture (per Dawson's request)

so that John and Dawson could see it when I returned.

A positive to come from all of this, is the beautiful new floors...

we love them!
