It is Monday (oops...Sunday) evening and both of the men in my life are napping. (I probably should be too!) We all need a good rest! I'm not going to go into too many crazy details, but the truck arrived to deliver our stuff on Friday morning. To our unpleasant surprise, our driver only hired 1 person to help unload. AND Rod is a talker. So, needless to say, they didn't finish. They did get the truck empty but most of the stuff was still in our garage....not so happy about that one! All I can say is THANK GOODNESS Leslie and Mary were in town to take care of Connor. They actually kept him at the hotel on Friday night in our room. 
The whole moving in process took forever and was freezing because there is no point in turning the heat on when all the doors are open! So, it was about 47ยบ inside the house! My face and lips are pretty chapped from the cold...sheesh.We hated to call and complain to the moving company about the lack of help, but Saturday morning Rod was back and got one additional guy to help. When I saw that he was moving stuff wearing only a t-shirt I knew he was either from here or needed to borrow a coat....he was from here.... Saturday went smoothly, much less chatter and they at least got everything put in the proper room (out of the garage). We've still got a ton of unpacking to do, but it will just take time.
While we were managing the movers and doing more work than we were supposed to, Leslie, Mary and Connor hung out at the hotel and frequented the mall. (I still haven't been to it, but they say it is awesome.) Connor got to hang out in a car stroller, watch tons of kids and even take his picture on the merry-go-round! Of course I think his most favorite times were playing "naked baby on the mat". This is one of my new favorites.....and it is an accurate picture of what he usually looks like when he is happy!
Anyway, we all slept here at the house last night, but let Mitsy and Toonces spend one more night at the hotel with the rest of our stuff. We got them this morning after Leslie and Mary headed back to Ohio. Their tails are up now after exploring for a few hours straight. Of course leave it to Mitsy to find one area under our kitchen cabinets that has a hole.....she was pawing at it and doing her best to get inside. Thankfully, she doesn't fit otherwise we would be in really bad shape!Ok, I will add more later. Although I should be unpacking and organizing I am going to see if I can hunt down our TiVo remote so I can watch some recorded shows from last week. We will get tv and internet on Tuesday....I just need to veg a little right now.

Actually, you are so tired that you confused "Monday" and "Sunday". Your first sentence says it all -- you need to rest, too. I love you! The house is fantastic. I don't expect you to post this. Just know how much I appreciate your efforts to keep us in the loop -- even though we are miles and miles apart. I feel like we are very close. MUAH!
