The Adventures of Joel and Matthew

We have been busting a serious move to get this house ready for the market, it is looking great! Since last Wednesday, we have had a new air conditioner and furnace installed, new interior doors installed, and Mike and Jeremy have painted just about every square inch of this place. We (I use the word We pretty loosly, it was really Mike and Jeremy) also cleaned out the garage, and, with Jon's help, we moved out some excess furniture and put it into storage. Right about now, I am wishing that our little family was relaxing on a beautiful beach somewhere far away. I just hope that the current owners of our future house in Orange County are working as hard as we are to get their house ready for us. The thought of having to do any work to another house makes me want to scream. It is pretty exciting to day dream about what our new house may look like.... and even more exciting to dream about getting out of San Jose. Yeah! I will post pictures of how great the house looks when all of...

That's what I am these days...Mike is officially Joel's hero. During the day (when Mike is at work), Joel walks around aimlessly, looking for "Dadda?". When Mike gets home in the evening, all of the whining and crying subsides (unless, God forbid, Dadda walks away for a second). It is quite heartwarming, and I know that Mike feels the same way about Joel.

Let me tell you about comments- they let me know that you are reading this thing!! If I don't get more than 2 comments on this post, I will probably shut it down for good.... this isn't a threat, it's a promise! What I have been doing during my absence of blogging: - The day after memorial day, my father in law passed away suddenly. It has been a really tough time for the family, and we spent about two weeks in Southern California with my sister and mother in law. We are looking forward to going back down in a couple of weeks. - Joel is walking.... he is so awesome! He is the person who has really gotton us through the last couple of weeks. I can't believe that he is MINE! - We are finally moving back to Orange County, I am so excited! We are going to put our hous...
