Writing about all the big & little things

Goodbye July, Hello August!

Well July seemed to just creep by for the first half and then fly by since Josiah was born.  I can’t believe tomorrow is August already!

I don’t have anything spectacular to report since I wrote a few days ago.  Mostly I’m trying to get back into the “normal” swing of things with two kids.  Some days are easier than others.  It’s amazing how much of how I feel is dependent on the night before…. so if JD doesn’t sleep well at night, the day is so much harder.

Yesterday we helped Jen move into her brand new townhome.  (And by “we” I mean Tim did all the lifting and moving and I arrived later to help unpack boxes…hehe)  It’s so exciting to help her transition to owning her own place.  And the house is super fun and quite spacious–and a tiny bit closer to us!  🙂  It brought back memories of moving into our first house and the endless decisions about where to put things.  Chloe was pretty excited to see her cat, but disappointed that she didn’t want to play…  🙂

Tomorrow is sign-up day!  That means I’ll be up bright and early.  Chloe went to the Baker’s house tonight so she won’t be in the way tomorrow morning which is going to be absolutely wonderful.  Plus she was super happy to see all of her cousins again, so everyone wins!

And finally, before I go… Chloe wanted to say “Thank You!” to Nathan and Amy for her new beautiful dress (see picture below) that she was able to wear for the first time today.  She loves it.

    Yes, Amy and Nathan, she wanted to wear it to bed tonight, and would only take it off after we called Erica to confirm that it was not for her to sleep in. 🙂

    That is so funny, Kristen!

    Thanks, Erica for all the pictures you sent to my frame. They are all delightful, especially the one at the top of today’s post. You are looking much better, too, now that you have lost all that puffiness of pregnancy.

    That’s so funny that she wanted to sleep in it! I’m so glad she likes it. Good luck today! I hope the scheduling goes well today.
