Ok, I am super lame with the updating these days. Life is just CRAZY, I guess. Dan is in full-swing with his new semester at school, the boys run run run all day, I'm training for a 5K race in March, and on top of everything else, I started a Chem class this week!!! WOW.
Plus...we had some super crazy "excitement" on our tiny little street last week. An early morning search warrant served on our neighbor's house turned into a "2 hour" evacuation while they searched. That turned into a full day of being evacuated. And since we were told 2 hours at the beginning, we took nothing with us.
Big big thanks goes to Tracey, my friend whose doorstep I showed up on, smelly and exhausted and near tears. We had just found out that we had to find elsewhere to sleep for the night and i was a bit panicked. She gave us a Pack N Play to borrow for the night, diapers, blankets, etc. THANK YOU TRACEY!!! You provided for us physically and also a much needed sense of welcome in the midst of our crazy day!!!
Our next big thanks go to Dan's parents (a.k.a. Oma and Opa) who let us sleep at their (new!) house that night. We really appreciated their hospitality and I think the boys loved their time at Oma and Opa's. Our only snafoo came when Eli woke up in the night and didn't have his "nigh-nighs" (his lovies he sleeps with) and wouldn't go back to sleep. So he and I headed home, hoping the craziness would be gone. It was. He promptly passed out in his crib and I passed out in our bed, resisting the urge to kiss the floor on my way!!!
What was going on, you ask? Feast your eyes on this shot my mom took mid-day (you can see our house at the top of the cul-de-sac. Its the two-story blueish gray one).
Our neighbor, who we've known collected guns for a long time apparently went a bit too far with his hobby, got some illegal stuff, some potentially dangerous stuff, and the cops noticed and got the search warrant. There was much more there than they originally thought and it took all day to search, detonate the dangerous stuff, and clear out. WOW. For those of you who have ever been to our house, you know we live on a QUIET cul-de-sac in Mar Vista. This was A LOT of excitement for us. If you want to watch the news story, you can do it here.
More pics of the day we spent roaming through L.A. coming later (i.e. once I get them uploaded!).
