Long Time No Blog

Oh, my friends. Life has happened in the more than a month it has taken for me to finally give you an update. Here's the rundown:

1. We are back in our house! O Sweet Mystery of Life, at last we're home.

2. Mostly everything is fixed. Hey, we have a wall and heat and air - and that's all a girl needs, besides coffee and the occasional ice cream fix.

3. Noah is rolling over. Today I found him in his crib on his back and facing the wrong direction.

4. My child is sleeping in a crib and his own room and through the night - none of these things were facts when we moved out.

5. Raleigh dog is about to drive me to the brink of insanity. Today Noah, I, and a very nice workman named Isaiah chased her around the neighborhood because the door was open to let the paint fumes dissipate and she took that opportunity to bolt. My elderly, chain smoking neighbors quite enjoyed the show.

6. I have discovered that Crocs are magnets for baby spit up and given that they are about as water tight as swiss cheese I end up walking around in my own private puke puddle.

7. My brother Samuel is an incredibly talented man and re-finished our entire basement floor by himself. It looks incredible - pictures coming soon.

8. I am a working mother. Well, sort of. I don't really count it work if I get paid to bring my baby along and hang out with my husband all day.

9. I tried to cook dried beans and came out with pruney, raisin looking things that were about as edible as sawdust.

10. I am currently foraying into the world my sister so aptly named Kitchen Chemistry, which is basically "I haven't been to the store in ages and it doesn't look like I'm going anytime soon so I'm gonna scrounge in my cabinets for food that possibly might could go together, mix it up, throw it in the oven and cross my fingers". Tonight's fare is a concoction of rice, chicken bullion, cheese and tortillas. I'll let you know how it goes.

Ahh, its good to be back.
