I’m so excited! Every single box in the house is empty!!!!!! Now, to be fair, I have to admit that there are a few, a very few, boxes in the garage that still need to be tackled. I also have a living room full of pictures that need to be hung on the walls. We’re not done, but the boxes have left the building!!!!

Rowland went to work today and encouraged me to try to finish up the end of the boxes. I’ve done it while Jia has talked non-stop. Literally. It truly amazes me how a four year old can put words together constantly for an entire day. She’s played school all day, and I’ve been her grandmother. She has also talked about how much she misses her “Popper,” my daddy. (He’ll be here Saturday or Sunday so she can talk to him then!!) She did stop for just a few minutes to draw a picture for “Ms. CC” in San Jose. (Actually, it’s a picture of Ms. CC that I’m to mail to her.)

I’m going to go lie down with my chatterbox before William and Kitty get home from school. She doesn’t talk when she sleeps, although rumor has it, I do! Turnabout’s fair play!
