So it looks like in just one short week, we will be invaded by a marauding band of ……… grandchildren. [and their parents will be here too of course] As mentioned before, the E&J family is moving a couple hours north of us and we are a way station of sorts for a few weeks while they get their bearings, figure out where they want to live relative to where Jason will be working and start looking for a house to buy. The plan is that they will be here for 2 or 3 weeks probably.<\/p>\n

And if I had known that bin of duplos I bought would eventually come to this, I think I would looked for another gift:
