Well, we have now been living with my parents for 3 1/2 weeks and we haven't been evicted yet and they haven't driven us completely crazy yet, so that's a pretty good sign. Patrick and my dad have been working TIRELESSLY at the new house. We are in, but not staying there yet. Hopefully this weekend though. I just feel very uneasy about moving in with the youngens when there are still 1000 boxes to be unpacked and everything is a mess! Patrick has painted several rooms and we are in the process of updating the kitchen, it's all going to be great! I'm especially looking forward to not having any more $400 gas bills like last month. (That is no joke, we seriously drive over the river that much.)
We take lots of walks. JD was so 
excited (I couldn't even get Caroline to look in my direction!). He must have been daydreaming of when he'll finally get to go hunting with his Paw Paw and use the pee hole (w/ funnel) that he has already made for him.

Daniel has had applesauce, his 1st veggie (green beans, what a mess!), and he army crawled for the first time a couple of days ago! The living room is a CONSTANT mess (thanks for pointing that out to us Aunt Melinda, we didn't know that.) as is the kitchen. We have not one, not two, but three pack n plays set up. I know we have racked up their water bills with all the showers and laundry that we do EVERY day. 
But my parents are wonderful and haven't complained once. I just know that when I hear the sound of my daddy clearing his throat (normally when one of the kids are fussing and he's trying to watch TV) that it's time to quickly leave the room!

He just doesn't like to sleep at home (commonly referred to as the "new house"). Let's hope he gets over this soon.
