I swore I would never do it. I swore I would never become one of THOSE PEOPLE who neglect their house to the point of embarrassment, the kind of person who has to clear a path to the bed just to be able to sleep. I looked down my nose at those people who had the audacity to leave dirty dishes in the sink at night, and who let the laundry pile up on the floor until it was impossible to tell what was clean and what was dirty. Bo knew that my dream day involved an entire afternoon devoted to scrubbing, cleaning, dusting, and folding anything that wasn't tied down...an entire day to CLEAN THE HOUSE. Well, my blog-reading friends, that day is over. I have decided to come out of the fanatical cleaning closet and admit that my house is a mess. As a testament to those of you who still cannot believe it, I have posted a picture of the pile of laundry (clean, don't worry) that is currently resting beside the washing machine. The clothes are clean, yes, but by the time they actually make the leap from that pile to our bodies to be worn, they may be tragically soiled (Juliana has taken to using the pile as her personal daybed). I know that you may be thinking "What a strange picture to post on the blog! We wanted to see cute little cuddly pictures of the kids!". Those will come later, after I fold the laundry.
Well, maybe I'll post a few of the kids to distract you.
In other news, we have found a house to rent and will be moving in sometime next week. It is in a great section of town and has a big fenced in yard for Juliana to run around in. I am SO excited to finally be moving into a bigger space, and the yard is going to be so nice as the weather is getting better and better here. There's a full basement that we've already promised her will be a great home for all of her toys (her room looks like we're trying to compete with Toys R Us!). We feel really good about the decision to keep renting for now and not buy a house until we get a little more established.
Hope everyone is doing great!! I promise by the next posting I'll have that laundry folded...and I absolutely refuse to post a picture of my sink!!
Love ya.

Welcome to the pile o' laundry club!! Landon has grown so much already!! He looks great!!! Congrats on the move to the new house. We will keep you in our prayers!
I hate to tell you it doesn't get any better from here. It seems everytime I turn around I'm washing, drying, folding & putting away. It's a cycle that just never seems to end. Miss you and hope you are planning a trip to Concord really soon!
