I thought that I would throw in a quick update on the "move". Most of our stuff remains in the garage. The word is that today the plumber is showing up to install the water heaters, as well as the all important toilet and shower fixtures in the upstairs bathroom. If this occurs, perhaps we will sleep in the house tonight. It's amazing what happiness a toilet could bring. The rest of the upstairs is very, very close to be complete. All that really remains is installation of the floors - which "should" happen the middle of this week. Once that is complete, we will have the comfort of upstairs to ourselves while the first floor is finished - (early June for final completion).
I got a few "Happy Easters" yesterday. I don't really know how to respond to such a gesture. At one point I said bah humbug. Holidays are difficult. But Nina and I did share a wonderful memory yesterday (we share lots of great memories) that I wanted to share. During an early trip to NY in April of 2006 one of the candy shops in town donated two giant chocolate bunnies to the Ronald McDonald House (a few of you may remember these things). They were each about four feet tall (as tall as Eden at the time). Anyway, one of the volunteers at the Ronald McDonald House offerred the bunny to Eden. Hmmm - perhaps the parents should be asked about this before an offer is made to a child? Anyway, the bunny spent lots of time in our room before it was "broken down" into smaller pieces for travel (how does one get a giant bunny home) - much of it was consumed as well. That brought some smiles to our face.
