Dear All,
I haven't been on this website much lately. We did move to Michigan with our 4 kids last month and dh started his radiology residency and we are constantly busy and when not busy, I am sleeping, pretty much. Since moving I have just been constantly on the go.........and we are not anywhere near settled in this house. We take lots of unpacking breaks for bike rides and walks through the new neighborhood and meeting new friends (and nursing this cute little baby of ours).
We discovered a mold problem in our attic that our inspector somehow missed and the previous owners omitted from their disclosure (but we discovered proof that they knew about it). Anyway, much of my time as a first time homeowner has been spent getting estimates from mold remediation companies and investigating their references to find that they are mostly scammers. We finally had the big job done on Friday, so we are moldfree. Tomorrow, the furnace guy is coming to correct several small problems with our ductwork that was improperly sealed in a number of spots. We have already taken up two rugs...to find decent ceramic tile floors. My dh has built a few bookshelves for his ever increasing library......in his spare time. There is just an overwhelming amount of work to be done still.
We were able to get the 3 big kids set up in daycamp as soon as we got here, so that's been great. They have all made wonderful little friends and are having a wonderful Summer. We love the house and the neighborhood and area in general.
Dh has made a good transition to his program and seems to like the job and the people. So far, his schedule has been quite manageable. I was worried that it would be harder for him to go from being an attending back to being a resident......but he is doing okay, learning the ropes with the other newbies. This first month has been the easiest first month of training he's ever had anywhere.........so that's a good thing.
Well, I just wanted to stay in touch. I need to do some lurking sometime when I can find some time and catch up with what's happening with everyone. When I am more settled, I expect to be visiting here much more often. I hope everyone is well and enjoying their Summer.
