Hotel Unruh

So the floor work continues at the Raykov's house, and they are staying over for the next couple of days. Stuffed peppers for dinner, generously provided by Nick. It contains peppers, rice, tomatoes, potatoes, and lemons. Lily was energetic! I am now doubting my ability to keep up with children.

In other news, the house should be on the market by the end of the week. Professional pictures were taken yesterday, and we've been working through the paperwork. Next Tuesday is the Realtor's open house, and shortly thereafter potential buyers will be looking at the house. Hopefully we start losing the snow soon.

SPECIAL ITEM FOR SOUTHERN RELATIVES AND FRIENDS

From Paul Douglas' Weather blog

Currently, Minneapolis has received 78.7" of snow this winter, and we are supposed to receive between 2 and 5 in the next 48 hours, then another inch or two on Friday. If that holds, this will be the fifth snowiest winter since they started keeping records in 1891.


But today was 40 degrees, and officially we have 8" on the ground. However, with all the drifts and shoveled snow, our yard is at least 24" at its lowest spot. If we don't start losing snow slowly, the Cities will have significant flooding again.

Birthday Redux Part Two!

So we celebrated Mike's birthday again last night. This time with Krista, Nick, and Liliana. We went to Theresa's, the incredibly popular Mexican restaurant in Mendota Heights. Apparently, they are so popular, they are read to expand again!

Cupcakes!

Afterwards, it was to South St. Paul for an evening of cupcakes, chatting, and looking at the beautiful new hardwood floors that were discovered under the Raykov's ugly old carpet.

You can check out their pictures of the project here.

Lily was gracious enough to boil many pots of imaginary food while we finished our cupcakes. She was very cute last night. I tested out the new camera I received from David and Phyllis, and as soon as I can figure out how to post the video, I'll do so. (Gotta be good blackmail fodder for her teenage years, right?)

Furniture City!

Wow. It's been awhile since we've posted to this. Long story short, we'll be leaving the Twin Cities and moving to Grand Rapids, Michigan--the Furniture City.

I'll be posting more about the move and the reason for the move tomorrow. I'm too tired now.
