Yes, that really happened!

About a month ago, Josh and I were just waking up on a Sunday morning when we heard a loud boom. Long story (sort of) short - it turns out the transformer bringing power to house had blown and surged our HVAC air handler motor. However, since our heat was running - this caused smoke to be pushed through our entire house. Not only did this not smell so fabulous but our entire house was covered in soot! This required a professional cleaning of EVERYTHING in our house and everything in it!  Every piece of furniture, every dish, every book...and all of our clothes. Our little family couldn't be in the house while all of this was happening so thank goodness my wonderful in laws live close and let the 6 of us (can't forget the dog) live in their guest room. We were out of our house for about 9 days. A million thanks to Ya-Ya and Pop for letting us stay and helping us with the boys while we were staying with you!

Although we've been back in the house for about 2 weeks and our clothes are finally back but are no where close to being unpacked.  It will get done...eventually! Taking a break from unpacking while the kids are sleeping (which seems to be less and less) to share some highlights.

To start - two months photos (which are almost a month old) followed by some of our favorites!

At the boys' two month check up - Charlie, Ray, Evan.  They did awesome with their shots!
