What has kept the Hood's so busy that they've been virtually blogless for the past 2 months? Let's see . . .
It all started when Joseph was sent on a week-long business trip to Las Vegas . . .
Red Rocks Canyon, NV
. . . Where he learned about fancy engineering things and had to go to Red Rocks all by himself because all his engineering friends were too busy trying to get rich quick.
Anyway, with Joseph gone for a week, Tammy was left to fend for herself against the heathens . . .
Mikala Wearing her War Paint
. . . And then Joseph was sent to New York for week . . .
China Town, NYC. . . Where he learned about fancy engineering things and ate chinese food in china town, which coincidentally tastes a lot like chinese food in South Carolina.
Anyway, again, this left Tammy alone all week with the demolition crew . . .
Claire Taking a Quick Breather between Demolition Sessions
And then Joseph was sent to Chattanooga for a week. (A pattern has emerged) . . .
Lover's Leap at Rock City, Chattanooga
. . . And, because Tammy couldn't stand being left alone for another week with the infidels, we packed 'em up and made the Chattanooga trip a family vacation . . .sortof.
Sara and Claire, Just Thrilled to be on a Business Trip
After all this traveling hither and yon, we had a lot of work to do with the adoption . . .
Daddy Instilling Musical Genius with "Popcorn Popping . . ."
Tammy and "Sissa"
. . . And just when we thought life was back to normal and we could go back to our old blogging ways, the washing machine broke. More specifically, "there was an arching fault in the main relay on the motor inverter circuit." Unfortunately, the 1 year warranty was up a week ago . . .
The Late Washing Machine Motor~ 2007-2008 ~
What you have just read is our post created directly after the washing machine was fixed the the backlog of clothes finally began to get washed. We are now out of excuses and excited about sharing our adventures again on Life is Hood.

Liz and I have been checking the blog for some time now, We really enjoyed the post together. And we are both happy that the blogging will continue. Our internet has started to work a little better so we are able to keep out blog up-to-date for now. We look forward to seeing more pictures of the family.
did you try to fix the washing machine yourself? (i'd be really impressed if you did!) I'm already impressed that your children are all still fully-limbed without casts or stitches and the house is still standing after two weeks as a single parent...I would have packed up and gone SOMEWHERE the first week - I'm a wuss about staying alone with all four!
Love the readers digest version of your 2 months--we enjoyed the technical engineer jargon :)
Yes, y'all have been busy. Too bad we didn't know Joseph was in Vegas. We could have hooked up.
Did y'all adopt?
wolfe: we did adopt sara. it's not final yet--hopefully it will be soon. it's an in-family adoption...and a long story. and i'm sorry we didn't know you were out there when joseph was there. he was really wanting someone to hang out with. maybe next time.
beth: joseph is truly a jack of all trades. he did indeed fix the washing machine himself--along with a whole list of other things that make him incredible! and as far as packing up goes, i would rather stay home and try to get friends to help...
Hey Tammy! It does not surprise me to hear that that pic is the result of Joseph getting to it. Actually, I would've been surprised if I hear he didn't try his hand at it!
Wow, sounds like a whirlwind! Tammy, you're amazing! and I loved the pictures of your girls-- especially in the double stroller and the markered face! hehe. Eliza likes to taste markers, so we've been buying the "mess free" kind to cut back on her body art. Hopefully it won't permanently stunt her creative expression!
i love you guys. ha.
