Where Are We?

Again, sorry for all the posts in one day, but we are trying to play catch up. For those of you who may not know, we sold our townhome in Beacon and moved to Gardiner, it's next to New Paltz. Well, we bought a house that needs a little work or at least we thought. Once we began demo, we kind of fell into the moment and ripped everything out, from the floors, to the kitchen and even all the bathrooms; we even decided to knock down a couple of walls. We are finally at the end of the renovations, but find ourselves in a time crunch. Part of the adoption process means that we must be interviewed by a social worker, which we already did in Beacon. I guess they want to make sure that we are or will be good responsible parents. So we cleaned our house, decluttered and even hid poor Montana (our black lab), but she's used to it. All we need to do is give her a treat and all is forgotten. So during the interview we had to pretend we never fought and that we knew what we were doing with kids, as if you have to prove that in a hospital after you give birth. Jen did great and I managed not to drool on the table, so things went well.

Anyway, since we have moved the social worker needs to inspect this house as well. So we are rushing to put things back together. We have a feeling that open light sockets and exposed wires probably aren't a good representation of good parenting. We also have a very loose railing on the second floor, probably not good to have, but the social worker won't know unless she leans on it. If she does, I suspect that we will have bigger problems then just being fit parents.

Well that's enough for now.
