The kids and I moved into the house with Jason yesterday. After three weeks of camping (two sleeping on the ground!), J was ready to sleep on our natural latex mattress. After four weeks of having sole responsibility of the children and two weeks of living without my husband, I was ready to have us all back together again!
*****SPECIAL NEWS BULLETIN*****
Asher testified to the greatness of the situation by waking up ONLY ONE TIME last night. I’m not even kidding. Bedtime was still horrendous, and I left him crying in Jason’s arms at 9:30 p.m. so I could run out and buy a fan (after trying to get him to sleep for an hour!), but still…once he fell asleep, he didn’t wake up until 4 a.m. AND! AND! He slept until 8 O’ CLOCK!! I’m kinda sorry for all the exclamation points and shouting, but you must realize what a miracle this is. Asher went from having two teeth to eight teeth over the past four weeks, plus traveling all over and sleeping in all kinds of strange places, so he hasn’t woken up less than three times a night for a month.

We’re exhausted, happy, and surrounded by a sea of boxes on a beautiful pine plank floor. Stay tuned.
You must be so excited. Your house is looking fantastic. The floors are gorgeous. Yay for Asher sleeping too!
YAY for moving in, being together, and asher sleeping so well!
Yay! Happy unpacking!
I truly, truly understand all of your exclamation points. Single parenting 1 child is killing me, I can’t imagine 3. Now, Charley is only 2 months old, but if she ever sleeps that well…EVER…I will cry with joy. Go Asher!
Everything looks beautiful! I’m so glad you can finally move in and yeah for Asher sleeping! I hope it continues for a long time!!
Yay Asher!
Congratulations! We can certainly relate to the relief it is to finally be in your own house and beginning the final task of unpacking.
Is your new place at all close to Grand Rapids? Maybe someday we could arrange a playdate and reminisce about Pittsburgh together.
