Updates from the field<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, we survived the move. Here’s how things stand:<\/p>\n

1. My parents, brother and sister-in-law came in and helped us get the job done. It’s extremely hard to do anything with a 19-month old, but they managed to drag Laureen and my rears out of the mud on moving.<\/p>\n

2. We had a very nice visit from Laureen’s mom at the new house. Anita, thanks again for coming up. I hope you get to do it more often.<\/p>\n

3. We got DSL working at the new house. I really want FIOS, though, just because it’s that cool. The DSL connection itself was painless, and the supplied modem is pretty nifty.<\/p>\n

4. Most of the downstairs boxes are unpacked. “Most” is a term that encompasses “some”. We got the majority of the kitchen unpacked, but there’s still some pantry items to contend with.<\/p>\n

5. We’re getting the broken chair fixed. The welding shop finished it. Yay.<\/p>\n

6. We rerouted one of the seven foot bookcases to the downstairs play area and I secured it to the wall, only putting in 5 extra holes. (Babyproofers and other handymen have earned a great amount of respect for their skill in doing things QUICKLY).<\/p>\n

7. Don Coomer, as usual, went above and beyond with the fan transformation, plus he brought over the spackle to repatch the walls.<\/p>\n

8. Dad and I managed to level the washing machine. It ain’t perfect, but it’s way better than it was, and I’m willing to leave it as-is.<\/p>\n

9. We’re still doing the change of address dance. That’s fun, let me tell you…<\/p>\n

10. Jacob’s play area is complete. It looks very nice. Mom and Dad bought a cheapo light from Wal-Mart that fits perfectly in the corner and ties into the wall switch.<\/p>\n

11. We still have a lot of unpacking and sorting to do in our master bedroom. That’s mostly books and music and other electronica, but we should be able to deal with it.<\/p>\n

12. We found the pegs to our shelves. While this may not seem like a large thing, it allows us to unpack said boxes of books and other detritus.<\/p>\n

13. We still have one more trip to IKEA for one piece of the couch that wasn’t included. It’s a small thing, and the couch is actually in place and fits together well.<\/p>\n

14. I’ve got to figure out what to get people for Christmas….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
