Day 29

Another real-life day today.  Gwyneth was up several times last night because the poor thing couldn't breathe. Runny nose season.  Whoopie...   Needless to say, I was fallling asleep on the living room floor by 9am. :-) Charis was sweet to ignore me then wake me up with a kiss when she'd had enough alone time. (G was napping -- lucky kid). 

Anyway, we had a fun day of unpacking some more boxes -- picture frames, stuffed animals, blankets, clothes.  The girls did great today playing together.  Charis cracks me up -- "Come on, Sissy. You can do it."  "This way, Sissy. Come here, Sissy."  "No, do it like this, Sissy."  And Gwyneth went right along with it, enjoying the company (and built-in entertainment). 

We took gloriously long naps this afternoon, and James got home right on time.  We sat down for dinner -- a first for just the four of us in our new house.  What a treat!  James then went to work on trying out the fireplace, too, and we got to enjoy a nice warm glow for a little while.  The girls were fascinated -- still have to figure out how we're going to handle the fireplace issues.  Screen, rules, soot, etc. 

I'm working on laundry and, once again, starching. :-)  James is OFF TOMORROW!  So I'm taking the opportunity to get all of his uniforms done in the next 2 days, ready to get him through the weekend, since I'll be working.  We sure have plenty of places to hang things up here, especially places where it doesn't matter one bit if starch drips on the floor. LOL. 

Enjoying a hot cup of tea, then nothing else for the evening. Ah......
