Hola, All! To continue from the previous blog: Earlier in the year John interviewed for a job in Dallas and one in Houston with Hospera. In September he was offered the Dallas job, the condo went on the market, the car was sold, and on October 3 Kim, John and Austin moved to 3711 Standridge. Never say that when the kids leave, they won't come back! Luckily, we had 3 bedrooms not being used: Kim and John moved into Kim's room, Brandy's room had already been made into a baby room, and Kerri's room became John's office.
So as to live together as peacefully as possible, we set down some ground rules. Instead of having different shelves for their food and our food, Kim and I decided that we would combine all food, alternating weeks when we each pay for groceries. For instance, starting on Sunday Kim shopped and paid for all the groceries; this next week will be my turn. Another ground rule is that at night all the toys are to be put away, not scattered all over the livingroom/house. So Kim bought 2 good size bins so the toys have a home at night. Something else is that Kim and John have not lived in the south for 6 years, and therefore haven't had to worry about attracting bugs. So all food must be either closed with a closepin, or in a container with a lid, and all dishes washed or put in the dishwasher at night. I certainly don't want to give the bugs any kind of invitation to relocate here!
Kim, John and Austin plan to live with us until at least the end of December, depending on when the condo sells. Another option for them is to start renting it in January.
For those of you who are not grandparents, there is nothing like being able to be around your grandbaby EVERY DAY!! It is such a delight to watch him discover new things, to see his eyes get big over things that I don't think twice about. And, of course, baby sugar is the BEST; I get as many kisses as I can! They don't call me the kissy monster for nothing!
Get 'em while you can!
