We're in!

Well, we officially moved in!  We still have a few things at our apartment that we need to get and bring to this house (including all of our food...), but we're pretty much in!  Our first night (last night) was a blur, because we were SO exhausted.  By the time we got home from picking up Guinness from McGee's parents' house (they were nice enough to take care of him for our moving day!), it was about 10pm.  Guinness was really freaked out by the new place, and I don't think he slept very well last night (neither did I!) because of all the new noises we have to get used to.  I'm hoping that all 3 of us sleep really well tonight.  We really love the house though!!!  It's so darn cute.  It'll just take a bit of time to settle in!

The one bummer about the house is that the most recent ice storm we had broke one of the big trees in our backyard area... There's currently a few tree limbs dangling precariously over the parking area (so we are NOT parked there...), and there's a huge tree limb that's completely broken and laying in the yard (and hopefully not damaging the fence).  There are a LOT of trees down in the Philadelphia area though, so the tree guy hasn't been able to come to our house to fix our situation yet.  I think I saw him today looking at the tree, so that's a start!  I think now he has to give an estimate to our landlord.  We're sad that we can't take Guinness in the backyard yet... We've really been looking forward to it!  But hopefully in the next few days the tree guy will help us out.  Here are some pictures of the backyard, and they're all taken from the 2nd floor of our house (so you can see how tall that tree is!):

In this first one, you can see a huge limb towards the top of the picture that is cracked and dangling down... This is over our parking area, so we don't feel safe parking there or even walking there.  

Sorry you can't see this one too well!  The reflection of my phone is making it blurry... But you can see where the HUGE limb broke, and is laying across about half (or more) of the yard area.  It's kinda hard to see the fence, but on the right side of the picture, the tree is laying on the fence.

Guinness is feeling better we think/hope... He hadn't thrown up for a few days, but then last night he threw up all of his dinner.  We're thinking/hoping that we just gave him a little too much at once, because his stomach has shrunk over the past week or so.  We never heard back on the tests that the vet did, because our veterinarian's office is one of the many buildings in this area that has lost power... So they couldn't even look up if tests were performed, or what.  We're hoping that they did the tests, and that they just can't access the results yet... A few days ago, I got a few cute pictures of him when he was feeling really sick.  He jumped up on the couch (which is a BIG no no in our house usually...), and he immediately put his head on my arm and closed his eyes.  I just didn't have the heart to make him get off the couch (I'm such a sucker sometimes!), so Guinness slept like that for quite awhile.  Here's my sick boy sleeping on the couch on my arm:

 I hope everyone is doing great and staying warm!!  I am SO ready for this winter to be over!  We're supposed to get more snow this Sunday, and more snow next week too.  Ugh!!
