Kristen found a new front loading dryer on this thing called Craig's list for a steal. We got the dryer and two pedestals. (they didn't have the washer). I have been wanting a new washer and dryer for a while as I bought mine in 1993. Probably not energy efficient. We asked Kristen's dad if he could help us as he has a truck and he did.
Papaw and Nana came and visited with Eliza, but Papaw really helped me a ton. I love having a father in law who knows things. He went with me to get the dryer, we had to get a new outlet for it, and then we installed it together. Plus he suggested that we go ahead and replace the laundry room floor while we were moving stuff out. I wasn't going to ask for that as I knew it would be a huge job even though it was just ripping up a vinyl floor and putting another down. But the laundry room had tons of stuff in it.
So we unloaded our entire laundry room into the kitchen and replaced the floor which looked horrible. We put down a sheet of vinyl that looks like ceramic tile but it looks so nice. Our laundry room is just an old part of the house but the new floor makes it look awesome. We then put everything back after a bit of cleaning out. and on top of that the new dryer turned out to be much better than I imagined. It was a top of the line model that this lady just didn't want. She had already returned the washer, so we will get a new one of those later, but this was a great deal now. It has wrinkle control, sensor heat, ability to dry without tumbling...my old one had an off and on button.
Anyway we had a great visit with Papaw and Nana and Eliza just laughed so much at them. They stayed way late helping us out. It was so nice and so awesome. I love working with someone who knows what they are doing. It is great to have family.
In other news, Eliza had her shots today. I was with her by myself and we had to wait a total of 3 hours at the doctor's office. She did so well though. Better than me. She has the best disposition. She only got upset with the shots and screamed pretty loud but just for a little bit. A few minutes after sobbing after the shots she managed a smile at me. And I just checked on her as she is in her crib talking to herself very loudly and when she saw me, she jumped and smiled so big. I love that kid.

Yeah for front load dryers! Yeah for family... sounds like you are blessed everyday... so happy for you guys.....
Hope you'll post a picture of your new laundry room!
Having family members close by, especially when you have a baby, is such a blessing!
Also, I remember watching my babies make that sad little frown before they burst into tears when they got their shots. Not fun.
