Our Computer is in the Shop (again...)

Just letting everyone know that our computer is in the shop for warranty work and probably a new hard drive so we are pretty out of touch on our email and internet right now. Once we are back up and running, I'll let you know! Thanks for your patience with my lousy computer...

The Arrival & Work Update

Well, after a few lousy nights, I found the reason why Kaitlyn's been so miserable at night. Tooth #5 has arrived! Last night was particularly bad. Kaitlyn went to bed around 9, fell asleep without crying (yay!!) but woke up at 12:30 screaming. After 2 minutes of cuddling, she was sound asleep again and back in her crib. Same thing at 2:30. Then at 3:30 she woke up screaming yet again. This time I made her a 4 oz bottle and gave her some Tylenol due to the nature of her scream. This morning she was singing and I looked in her mouth and there it is. My baby is getting so big.

The other major event in our house is the budget cutbacks at work. Yesterday they sent me home at 12:30 after announcing last week that they would be cutting back on part-timers' hours. Today will be the same by the sounds of it. Tomorrow or Thursday I will probably be off for the entire day. It's lousy for work but I did enjoy spending some extra daytime hours with Kaitlyn yesterday.

Anyways, off to work.

Update on our House!

Finally! Yes, after being called out by Yvonne on my unfulfilled promise, here is an update on our house.

We were supposed to get the keys on Monday, the 28th, but our real estate agent, Richard, phoned us on Friday evening and asked us if we wanted the keys on Saturday morning instead. The condition was that the old owners would leave behind the old windows which had recently been replaced. No problem! So with a move in day of Saturday opposed to Monday, we were able to enlist lots of help including Jaco and his trailer, Rob and his truck, Jesse and his truck and some other fit men (which were very much appreciated, especially considering Ryan's current condition from the car accident). Everyone was so wonderful and so helpful and we were all moved in by Saturday evening. Greg was then anxious to move in to his place as well and he joined us Monday evening. Slowly all the boxes are getting unpacked and put away and we are absolutely loving our new place. There was an issue with the washer and dryer which we hadn't anticipated (we knew we had to buy one - we didn't know that none of the plumbing was done yet). But Ryan saved us some money and did the work himself.

I hope to post pictures of our new place soon and book a housewarming party date as well! Stay tuned!
