Operation New Carpet

After a year of explaining to Chris the importance of new carpet, a few weeks ago we finally got around to ordering some. We were informed that we could save about $600 if we ripped up and threw away the carpet ourselves...which of course we agreed to! Based on the info they gave us when we bought the carpet, they shouldn't be installing it for another two week, however, surprise! It is being delivered on Tuesday! While that is fantastic news, it means we need to move all the furniture, rip up, roll up and get ride of four bedrooms and family room worth of carpet!! Add to this that we both are not only working this week but both days this weekend too!! So the super fun job of moving furniture, ripping and removing has started tonight....

Stay tuned... i'm sure there will be horror stories to follow....

Say Good Bye to the Blue Balled Hanuka Bush

That is not actually our tree (pictured with Chris and Cooper below), that was Lex and Josh's. We still had a little Blue Balled Christmas Tree (with a Hanuka theme). However, you will all be happy to know that after Christmas, when everything went on super sale, we purchased a pre-lit 7 foot tree (and all the trimmings) for 50% off! So the Jew in me got to save lots of money and Chris got his tree. Stay tuned for the next 11 months for pictures...

Xmas and New Years

Well a lot has happened in the last 2 weeks. Here are some of the highlights:
We spent time with our great friends Lex and Josh. Cooper and Hudson ran around all night and played (see the pics).









We went out for dinner on New Years Eve with Dani's parents, sister and her sisters boyfriend John (see pic).









Uconn beat Seton Hall in college hoops. We spent some time with our friends Lori and Nick but unfortunately didnt see Uconn beat Notre Dame. But at least Dani was inducted into the guitar hero Hall of Fame. Not really, but at least she looked cute while standing there trying to figure out how to press 3 buttons. We spent a lot of time around the house during the break and are now happy, healthy and ready to attack the new year.
