Back online
The last thing Dave did last week Wednesday right before the floor sanders showed up was cut our internet cable, literally. The way it was installed when we moved in resulted in us not being able to pull it down through the floor and back into the basement, so, snip snip. While we were vacationing at Megan's house we decided to go wireless and ordered an AirPort from Apple which took a while to arrive, then it took Dave a while to find a chunk of time he could devote to repairing the cable and hook everything up. However, the stars have aligned and now we're back in action. It was a nice break away from the internet for me. I had all of this extra free time during my day and evening to do things such as: read, ponder the meaning of life, unpack, stare blankly at the ceiling from the comfort of our recliner, admire our new floors, rearrange Henry's room, bake cookies.
The Tuesday before the floor sanders showed up Dave had his tonsils taken out. A week and a half later and he's still trying to work up to a regular diet, the big prize at the end of the tunnel being a pizza night, a celebration he's been having to put off every couple of days because he's not healing as quickly as he had hoped. A word of advice to those who are thinking of getting their tonsils out as adults: don't do it a few days before you have to physically work hard at something, such as moving all of your furniture back into your house, especially if your wife is 37 weeks pregnant and utterly useless when it comes to lifting things. It'll really set back your recovery time. Especially again, if you later realize you haven't had much water, and then have a beer. Then again, I guess a little dehydration after major surgery never hurt anyone. Oh, wait, that can be bad, can't it?
Meanwhile, the important facts are:
- we're all moved back in, although still half-heartedly unpacking some boxes full of things I think we'd rather stuff in the attic and forget about, regardless of how useful the items contained therein are;
- the house looks great;
- Dave is still alive.
We're *so* ready for this baby.
(Hah!)

Glad you have internet access again and that the floors turned out well. I feel badly for Dave. It's definitely harder to have tonsils out as an adult than a child although I remember my throat being rather sore after I had mine taken out as a child.
I can't wait to see pics of your little princess!!! I'll be praying for you and baby that the delivery will be as quick, safe, and smooth as possible.
Glad Henry likes the yogurt balls. It was fun having you guys over. We'll have to do it again sometime - after you get through the sleep deprivation stage you're about to enter. :-)
