Why I've been MIA

Jonah's mean face.





$2! Can you believe it?!


Jonah's new carrier for his plane trips. We're both wearing our pjs in the picture but I really wanted to try it out.

We've been sooooo busy this week trying to ready the house to be sold. Matt started his ER rotation and has been going in from 3pm to midnight. Today he had a morning conference, came home at noon and now has to go back in at 3. He'll be tired tomorrow. Our realtor came by today to take some pictures of the house. We're going with the same guy we used when we bought the house. He painted a pretty bleak picture. He said he hopes he'll be able to get 85% of what we paid for it 3 years ago. I thought he wanted to take pictures to advertise the house but they were just for his reference. I wouldn't have stayed up til 4 am scrubbing the kitchen floor if I would have known that. However, our house looks great! (just don't look in the closets!) We currently don't have a kitchen table because we sent it on the truck thinking we could pick up a new one easily. I'm looking for a round, drop leaf table. Preferably black. Well yesterday Jonah and I went to 6 stores and had no luck. There are a lot of pub/counter height tables out there but that isn't what I want. Furniture Row had one that would have worked but it would take two weeks to come in. So last night I decided I would go ahead and order the one I wanted from Walmart and hope it came in time for the real pictures. But of course in a days time the table is no longer on their website. So it is back to square one. I checked out Goodwill last week. I might stop by again next week. So we took down most of our pictures and personal items (except for pictures of Jonah because who doesn't want to view those?!) and I found that my walls and shelves were lacking. I didn't think about it before and packed up most of my decorative items. I went to the craft store yesterday to get cord to fix the shades (broken by Caleb almost immediately after we got them) and found these cute display boxes. They were originally $12 but marked down to $3. When I checked out I was floored to find out there were only 99 cents! I think when we move and I have more time I'll put some pretty scrapbook paper in them but right now pictures of little Jonah will suffice. That cool mirror in the living room is on loan from Laura and Matt. I love it! I guess we get to enjoy living in the clean house for a couple of months. I work the next couple of days and then I have to clean out closets.
