Many thanks to grandpa for running Hank twice a day while we were gone. Apparently Hank was very sad while we were gone. Our cats and horses survived our absences also. It is nice to be home again.
Now we need to:
- Harvest the garden
- Pack up the house
- Clean the house
- Clean the new house
- Lay new flooring, redo bathroom and other minor house projects so we can move into the 760 sq foot house
- Pack up everything, keeping in mind we are going from 2400 sq feet to 760 sq feet
- Move into the "dwelling" or the "in between house" by October 15
- Beat a 6 year incumbent in the November elections-This will include some 50 or so hours of campaigning work a week from now until November
- Continue to home educate our children
- Serve on Jury Duty "stand by" through November 30
I'm sure I'm forgetting something. I told Alex though that if I "loose it" in the next six weeks to please forgive me and if I don't to recognize that I'm amazing. hehe : )

Thanks so much for inviting me to your blog. I LOVED reading about your amazing and fun trip to the east coast.
That is one of our ultimate family trips that we would like to take and so it makes me happy to see that others are enjoying it.
Good luck with the move and the campaign!
Wow! What a wonderful time you guys had on your trip! We used to live by DC and how I wish we would have gone to so many more places while we were there. I didn't appreciate them then as I do now. That is so wonderful that your children could truly appreciate it right along side you!
I think your list of things to do sounds pretty impossible! You might just have to leave a few things out :-) I do wish I lived a little closer to you and could help you in some way. Your new adventure of moving into a place so small for a time fascinates me! I can't wait to hear how it goes!
It sounds like you had a fabulous trip! We lived just outside of DC for 6 months and went on outings every Saturday and there were still many things we didn't get to see.
I love the story of Olivia's self-sactificing to surprise her brother with the change in presidential houses. What a sweet girl!
I wish I could come and help you move. Good luck with that. I think you should be fine in a small house now that you have de-clutterd and simplified so much. It is wonderful and amazing how much we can live without. But definately make room for the piano!
You are so busy while I have nothing to do but sit and wait for a baby to be born. Hmmm, which is harder... I think your list. I'd rather give birth any day than move!! Even if it's just into a playhouse! I bet after November you'll be getting more sleep than I will though.
