never have i been so tired, and yet still had so much to do. 
i have some pictures of my tireless helpers, but i cannot bear the process of dealing with the photos right now.  i just wanted to give thanks to everyone who has either helped me beyond whatever help i could have imagined on my house (namely LaLa, Poppe, Kelly and Sloane), or has helped me by watching and loving my boys while our home looks like a hurricane - GoGo and PaPa, the Calloways, Maggie and George, Anke and Matthias, Dan and Rachel.  I will forever get teary eyed when i think about how grateful i am to you all. 

now there is more:

organizing

washing

painting

sweeping

taping

and folding 

to do before bed.
