Normally I would be napping, too.

Crabby Lu just went down for her nap and I'm not really feeling tired, so I'll type. I just did the dishes. After having a very badly clogged drain for a week and a half, Andrew decided that $200 was too much to pay to unclog a drain, and he did it himself! He took everything apart and did a fabulous job getting everything cleaned out and put back together. I had no idea what a luxury it was to have a sink that drained.
So, after he fixed the sink last night, we cleaned the main floor of the house like crazy and then collapsed to watch TV. It made waking up this morning feel just wonderful!
We sure love this house. Our neighbors leave something to be desired, but our house is just wonderful. We love our view, whether we're using binoculars or not. We love the breeze that comes through the whole house when you open the windows. We love the big dining room that echoes when Lucy runs through it screaming with laughter. We love the little bench out front. We love having the space to spread out as far as we need to. We love passing out at 11pm listening the creaks and moans of the wood. This house fits us really well and we couldn't have asked for a better place to raise our little girl.

And don't forget the quiet people across the street!
I am so pleased that you have found such a special place to put down roots.
