Spring Cleaning

With all the construction in the house, we've been living with a layer of dust over everything. Without a functioning kitchen sink has made it pretty difficult to clean. Now that the kitchen remodel is done, we're trying to unpack everything, which is causing more dust. We also had 2 big dinners this weekend. On Friday, we had Sujay, Matilde, Michelle, Mike, Show, Pete, and Corinne over for dinner. Mom cooked up a storm and left a trail of dirty dishes, pots, and counters in her wake. We hadn't even finished cleaning the wreakage from last night (including 2 dishwasher runs) before she started cooking again tonight. We had more family over tonight with my uncle and his family and my cousins. It's nice to have some home cooked meals after a month of eating meals using only our microwave. I'm looking forward to having some time to really unpack and clean.

Another note of good news. We just found out that Edwin's sister Jeannette and bro-in-law Jon are going to be moving to the Bay Area in May. YAY!!! She's also preggers and they are expecting a boy in June, so we'll be around to see the baby when he's born. It will be nice to have more family around. Now if we could only convince Laura and Alex to leave those harsh Cincinnati winters for some Bay Area sunshine...
