time to settle in

We got everything moved into our house but everything is not unpacked. Who knew that we could go from a 1 bedroom apt to a 3 bedroom house (with garage and basement) and fill it up?

I think things just need to get unpacked and then there should be space. The canoes don't have a permeant home yet, the solos are in the garage, an the other two are on the car.

We got most of the painting done, we still need to pick a color for the kitchen, but there wont be much furniture to move and the wallpaper/glue is all down. Unpacking is under control The babies room is pretty much ready to go, the living room is close, and we haven't started the kitchen. So much to do.

My little brother Jon still needs to move in to the upstairs though.

Whats new?

Well for one thing I have a whole lot less money, because we bought a house!!!!!

We closed on Friday, but don't get posession until this coming Friday, and then the moving begins

Pictures are available HERE

Happy 4th of July

Well actually today is the 5th, but I was so freaking full/tired/driving/busy/relaxed yesterday that I didn't stand a chance of posting on the actual 4th.

Bridgit and I spent the day at Grandma Jo's who is My Wife's (Bridgit), Brother's, Wife's, Grandmother. There is always a baseball game followed by a huge meal and then finished up with capture the flag.

Dan and Betsy brought the stuff to do a Low-Country Boil. It involved:
two bags of redskin potatoes
lots of corn on the cob
seasoning
lemons
onions
9lbs. shrimp
8lbs sausage
4 heads of garlic

You boil all this together and then drain it and pour it on a table covered with newspaper. We all gathered around and ate until we could eat no more.
