Ben and Cami are up at Grandma and Grandpa's house up north for the weekend while Justin and I, with the help of Ian, while Justin spends time trying to fix the kids bathroom floor from mold, etc and Dana work hard on trying to get the office in workable condition. With 3 kids, cleaning and organizing has not been at the top of the list. As days go on, we feel like the house is closing in on us. The STUFF is taking over! Hopefully we will be able to take care of some of it this weekend. It will feel good to downsize. Here are a few pictures from the last 2 weeks.

Work

Needless to say, life has been a little busy at the Marthaler house. I am back to work and working a lot. I have not worked this many hours in a month in years! It feels good to be working, but there is still the struggle of working vs. being home. Thankfully I am able to do both. I am tired a lot, but I know there is a light at the end of the tunnel since I will have 5 months off once Ian is officially adopted. Since the leave is completely unpaid, I am trying to work a lot now so that it does not hurt as much financially when I go off work.
We promise to post more and post more pictures in the near future. Bear with us during this transition!
