ferrets in the new place

Since we moved out stuff here a week ago, I have been unpacking boxes and doing other work during the day. Still, it seems like there are always more boxes to unpack, and I haven't been taking pictures of the house because of its messy state.

There is one exception to this rule. I am always taking pictures of the ferrets, since they are always being cute. This week, we got a humidifier because the dry air caused a lot of carpet static. The ferrets were rubbing up against the carpet and then surprising themselves with little shocks when they touched their noses on my hands. The humidifier puts out a cool cloud of water vapor. The cloud has fascinated the ferrets. Rex took an open-armed leap at it a couple days ago, and he seemed unhappy he couldn't catch it.

Getting ready for Christmas / Sinterklaas

This week, I've been in Columbus boxing up our stuff. We are moving on Saturday, so there was a lot to do. Just about everything is ready to go, finally. Last weekend, we decorated a bit for Christmas and celebrated Sinterklaas. After putting together the tree, Brian put on lights and I put on ornaments. The tree is up in the front room, where the lights can shine through the windows.

My parents bought us a pair of leather chairs as an early Christmas gift. They are lovely (and some of our only furniture, until Saturday). This picture is to show off the new chairs. :)
