I'm just dropping in to give a quick "Hi"

I wrote my post and then added the pictures and don't have the time or patience to mess with trying to move the pictures so they can be where they want and I will give a quick commentary. They are most recent to oldest. The pictures of Mark are in Reno. NO he is not with us. Too scary. (I left both boys home asleep. I am at the church enjoying a little quiet time.)

This is my new dining room furniture with lots of boxes to unload. There are a few in the corner that are empty but I need them to bring in stuff fromt he shed.

My living room furniture.

Our bedroom set. Notice where Isaac's bed is! What Isaac wants Isaac gets.

This is what happens when Grandma and Grandpa get too close to Mark.

Bribery doesn't even work. I gave him treats and he still doesn't like me. That's why he stayed home with mom.

This is what Mark doesn't to people he doesn't like. I am keeping my distance from him.

Aren't they cute.

I never guessed that I would have phone and internet in the camper but not in my house. And I am starting to miss them both. The internet is obvious. I have lost contact with many people. I went over on my cell phone minutes with a week left before I got new minutes.

Here are a couple of posts that I would have done.

Nothing like indoor plumbing (Monday May, 4)

We got home from Reno a week ago Sat after nine PM. And we had a sleepy Isaac. We were disappointed to not have water in the house, but decided it was still better to sleep in there than in the camper with Isaac. So we hauled in our bed pads and blankets.

Church isn't until 11 but even though Isaac was up late, he still woke up by 6:30. He was so tired in church. He wouldn't fall asleep, but he spend most of Sacrament Mtg laying on the floor. He fell asleep on the way home from church.

We had power and gas in the house and it was all finished exept for turning on the water and a little trim and touch up work. Jasper had worked on it Fri and Sat and hoped to have it finished. Obviously he didn't quite get done. He came back Mon and turned on our water and finished everything up. The water hadn't been on much more than 1/2 hr when Isaac announced that he needed to go pee pee. Jasper gave the OK on the toilet so Isaac was the first to initiate my new toilet. Since then he has had much practice. There was still air in the line so the toilet was noisy when we flushed it. It scared Isaac enough that he didn't dare flush the toilet for several days.

I knew I would have quite a bit of cleaning up to do but I expected them to do a little more. I had to vacuum all the carpets. They had lots of carpet "fuzz" from the carpet layer. Each room filled up the canister in the vacuum. The contertops looked like a wood shop. I went through lots of 409 and paper towels. And then the linoleum. We didn't dare walk across it w/o shoes. I hate to say that it took a couple of days to get the floors mopped. I just couldn't do everything at once and it sure was nice to have that mess gone.

Wed May 6 Home is where the TPN is

I moved all my TPN supplies into the house Tues. I'm not home w/o them. Then late Wed afternoon Isaac and I went to the shed to get my TPN. We decided that we could bring the TPN fridge into the house. It didn't fit in the trunk as well as I would have liked it to. (I couldn't get Mike's truck because Isaac's car seat is in the car.) I balanced the fridge the best I could. I kept telling myself that I was going to be upset when the fridge falls out and breaks. I couldn't find any rope to tie it in. It wouldn't have been so bad, but I had quite an incline to go up to get from the shed to the house. I was very careful to not spin out and be so smooth and I am so proud to say that the fridge made it safely. It was so nice to have ALL my supplies home. It is my security.

I had to vacuum all the drawers and cabinets to get the sawdust out. Then I wiped all of them down. And Fri morning I finally had all the drawers and cupboards ready for occupancy. Isaac and I were tired and tired of cleaning so we played. We had to do some shopping and went to lunch. Then after nap we went to the library. Grandma got some new books and videos. After almost a week, the other ones were getting a bit old.

Isaac and I have had a great time together. Lance and Molly may not let him stay with us again so we will have to make the most of it while we have him. A couple of nights ago, Isaac was having a hard time going to sleep and Mike and I were both exhausted. Mike brought Isaac's bed in by him and they went to sleep. The next day, Isaac's bed got moved back to his room. Well during the night last night, Isaac woke up and told me that he wanted his bed by Grandpa's bed. He is a stubborn 2 yr old and I was a tired old Grandma. Would you like to guess where Isaac slept? I haven't asked him yet where he plans to sleep tonight.

I have been so busy I haven't even taken many pictures. You haven't missed out on much.

I guess I'd better clarify what is going on with my phone. The phone line got cut after my home was on the lot when they were digging to put in power to it. I have to move the power and phone lines before we can put in the garage. We are anxiously awaiting the building permit for the garage and then will procede with moving the lines and getting me phone again. Hopefully it will happen soon.

I talk to you when I talk to you.
