Still Alive!

We are still alive and kicking, just extremely busy!  We close on our old house Monday so it has been a scramble to move the 9 years of hoarding from that house.  We have a rental house in Hudson, since the new house won’t be done until mid-December.  There have been so many things each and everyday.  I am thinking after the closing next week things should go back to normal a bit.  There are so many posts that need to be done, after all baby boy turned 1 in the midst of all the madness.  Here are a few random phone pictures until I can get caught back up on the “real” posts.

She is getting so big but still fits in a bag :)

Tommy absolutely LOVES swinging, much like his sister did

Tommy has wanted Maggie's tractor since the moment he saw it.

He is too little to reach the pedal but sometimes if I ask Maggie real nicely, she will give Tommy a ride.  He loves it!

These two still adore each other and are getting wild

Maggie started dance lessons again

A portion of our hoarding, this was after we had already taken 2-3 truck and trailer loads out.  Seriously moving gets worse the older you get.

The house has continued to progress

This picture was current about 2 days ago, they have since finished the entire roof and all the windows are installed

Maggie and Tommy are sharing a room at the rental house.  And they LOVE it!  I was worried, but 6 nights in to the experiment, they have both slept through the night every night.  Maggie doesn't wake up scared or thirsty in the middle of the night and neither of them call for us--it is actually amazing!  The other morning Susie was just finishing drying her hair before work/school and heard ruckus coming from their room at 5:30 AM.  She opened the door to find both kids jumping on their beds and giggling at each other.  I think they are going to have a hard time separating when the new house is done.  Maggie sleeps so good and wakes up so happy, I think Tommy gives her a sense of security.  And Tommy just thinks his sister is the coolest girl in the world so it is a win-win. 

One thing about moving/building is that the kids have had some really long days at daycare.  We live within two blocks of an elementary school and a great park right now.  The kids have been eying up the playgrounds for the past 2 weeks.  I finally took them last night.  Little did I know, Tommy can now do slides all by himself and of course thinks it is so neat!

Hopefully the weather stays nice for a couple more weeks so we can take advantage of the great parks in our neighborhood.

Tommy is getting soooooo close to walking.
