Well, I know I have not been great at communicating what has been going on. I have daily requests to post pictures and update what has been going on. Sorry. I will post pics when I get home this afternoon.
Things are finally getting put back together which is nice. The furnace, duct work, hot water tank, electricity, insulation and some plumbing have all been replaced. The drywall is being delivered to day and hopefully they will start hanging it today as well. The flooring has been ordered. They tell me it won't be finished for a month still. Which is freaking me out.
We had our first baseball practice last night and all three teams will be in full swing come Saturday. It looks like we may be moving back in on Opening Day Weekend. GREAT! Maybe a couple days after.
I am getting anxious to go back home. I wish this was all behind me yesterday. We are still dealing with Fema, Insurance and the SBA which irritates the heck out of me. We are hoping to raise the house this spring so we NEVER have to deal with this again. Pray that all that lines up as we hope it will.
The kids are doing so much better. They are good boys. They are handling sharing one room between the three of them quite well. Chris is busy with work, which is a blessing in this economy. I am forever learning how to juggle more effectively. Work is good for me and I am pleased with my new schedule. I am trying hard to keep up with laundry, housework, the other house, the boys and my job. I do better on some days than I do on others but heck, I am doing the best I can.
My friends have been so patient with me and helped me a ton. They haven't gotten completely ticked that I am not returning calls in a reasonable amount of time. My friend Jerean spent 6 hours running house errands with me (anyone who has ever shopped with me knows she is a saint). In my defense, I ate before I left the house. Maria loaned me a microwave (holy cow that has changed our lives). Our friend John solved our flooring dispute. Sal single handidly destroyed our Mold problem. My girls have helped keep me sane, I adore my friends. Big props to them all. Other than that, things are normal. Thanks to everyone who has pitched in to make things happen. I will try to update this again soon.

I am happy to read an update on everything. I've been thinking about you guys. I know this must be so hard on you. You're so strong, though, and will get through it. And your boys are AWESOME boys. Such troopers and really good kids. They've got great parents!! I'll still praying that everything works out and goes by as fast as possible.
I can't baseball is already starting. We start practicing in a couple of weeks but our first games aren't until the beginning of April.....which is good because Dawson is playing indoor and outdoor soccer right now and Dana is playing indoor too. So, it pretty much takes up every evening!! Ok, off to do laundry and other domestic chores...Love you guys!!
You are doing an amazing job! I can't believe baseball is staring again- man that means I won't see you until summer :) Miss you and love you tell the boys hi!
