Michael, Emily, Mary, Joseph, and Katie arrived from Georgia on September 4th. They will be living in our basement until they can find a house of their own. Michael is in the management level of a software company, but works from home by phone and computer, so he can live anywhere he wants. Since all of our family and all (I think) of Emily's family live in Utah and since Mary is getting to the age where she needs to have more church friends and opportunities, they moved here. They are living at Emily's parents' house until our house is ready to inhabit. The work has really sped up with their help. Michael and Emily have removed the old carpet and painted the whole downstairs this week. Alice and I have been painting the walls and ceilings and tiling the floors of the upstairs bathrooms. The picture, above, shows Michael (nearest the truck) and two of Emily's brothers who helped unload two 26-foot U-Hauls.
