Basement and Babies!

Hallelujah!!! We have moved back into our basement yesterday. I took most of the day, but we did it. I had the help of a great kid from my middle school youth group and his friend with all the heavy lifting. We would not have been able to do ith without those boys! It was like Christmas all over again for the kids rediscovering their toys. It was fun to also let them rearrange their bedrooms. We are all now very happy campers! It has been a very long long month and now we can begin to put some closure on things.

We are now focussing on getting the house in a "sellable" state. After this last incident we just feel it is time to put the house on the market and move somewhere we can sleep well in when it rains. We hope to put it on the market in about 6 weeks (when puppies are re-homed). We realize that it will take just the "right" buyer to purchase our home. In some ways the thought of moving is quite sad. This is the home in which we took all of our kids to when they arrived. It is just filled with so many great memories. And I love our neighbors. It could take years to sell, so I guess I don't need to start mourning already, right?

On to other exciting news. Zoe had 8 puppies this past Monday-Tuesday. The poor dog. She had her first puppy at 7:50 pm Monday and didn't have the last one until 7:00 am Tuesday! It was a long night (I am sure longer for Zoe). All babies are doing great! There are 5 girls and 3 boys. There are 3 black/white Tri's (like Zoe and Zeb) and 5 Liver/White Tri's! I will post pictures in a few days.
