One of the great things about having family and visitors over the Christmas holiday is that our house gets cleaned from top to bottom (or any holiday for that matter). I have to admit that the housekeeping around here has been very low on my list of priorities since, oh...about the 7th month of pregnancy. That means I have let things slide and pile up for at least 6 months. There is an awful lot of crud that can accumulate during that time period and it could be worse. If my mom and ana hadn't strapped on their rubber gloves and cleaned like mad molly-maids while I was in the hospital getting ready to bring Rowan home (thanks again for that.) I
am pretty sure there would be bags of dog hair being pulled out from under the couches now. I have never really *liked* cleaning the house, but I like everyone else, hate the filth and feel wonderful when the house is sparkling like it was last night. The trick will be to keep it prestine until at least Christmas Eve. Luckily the little man is quite content to sit in his swing these days or to be toted around in the ergobaby by a daddy that is an excellent house-wife. Here is my house-wife mopping the floors...

geez. I could have writting this post myself. Unbelievable... those are my exact sentiments- Darren's mom scoured our house from top to bottom when I was in the hospital. Darren saw the photos of John and wishes we could be there over the holidays... He/we really miss you guys. I told him we'd arrange something in the next few weeks.
We miss you guys too. Pick a weekend in January and it is yours.
