I don't want to negate my thankfulness for a home to call our own, but I am desperate to live in one place, not two, and have a schedule and a routine again.
Do you ever look at the background of my pictures,especially lately? My house is a train wreck...I need to move. Did I mention that? |
Amidst all the crazy that was this week (and actually several weeks now) God gave me some sweet quiet times with both girls. While Maggie Bell napped in the morning Libs and I lingered outside, and I gave her lesson about bees, wasps, and spiders. She ran a low grade fever this week and actually slowed down enough for me to just hold her in my lap, which almost never happens anymore...
My own Princess Kate, watching the real Princess Kate, marry Prince William for the second time around. We LOVE Princess Kate. It was a precious time. |
She doesn't always suck her thumb, but on this day she did, and I love it! |
As this is my second time around, I know all too well, that I'll wake up in a few months longing to hold my baby, only to find that she is a toddler and prefers running to snuggling. While I know this is as it should be, I'll take the occasional sick day, if it gives me an afternoon of holding the first little girl that stole my heart right out from under me.
Fingers are crossed that we'll move this week. I was hoping to be out of here this weekend, but I was told that I need to be reasonable. (I wont mention who said this to me, except that it was not Libby or Maggie) :)
I can't wait to share the before and afters...Kev is pretty amazing, I tell him the vision I am having and he makes it happen. In between drawing sidewalk chalk balloons for my Little, and nursing the Littlest I have helped some too!
Here's to our home sweet home...
Happy weekending.
Grace and Peace

I'm just wondering if this move is more or less stressful than the move from Florida when you were 6 months pregnant!
Be patient - it will be worth it in the end and you can all enjoy life in your new home.
Forgot to say I hope Libby is better now.
Think of all the wonderful memories and stories you will have to tell about these days. The girls will love hearing about all the things their daddy and mommy did to make their new home possible. Love you, can't wait for Laura and my road trip to see you!
Carly,
Some day a long time from now, you will look back and wonder how you did it all and you will smile. And then you will wonder how did time fly by so fast?
You are a great mother, wife and person. Don't think anything less.
Home will come soon.
Haha, you sound a lot like me when I move or travel except my husband is even WORSE than I am! I'm glad you have "someone" who can be realistic and force you to slow down ;-) hehehe. That's the kind of submission I can handle!
I read but rarely comment, but I thought I'd chime in with a bit of electronic cheerleading for the new move!
So exciting!
So much work, yes...
But so exciting!
The house looks gorgeous, and may the work that's left just do itself so you can spend more time taking pictures of your beautiful children. :)
Like, for example, my two favorites from this particular post-- Libby wearing the veil and Maggie sucking her thumb. Both are so beautiful and sweet.
