Lost
All my yarn, except a couple of socks and the sweater I have on the needles, is in storage. And my house STILL isn't listed yet. Before the weekend if it kills me.
I just want my life back.

Walk This Way!
Nothing like that toddler goose step!
Walk This Way from January One on Vimeo.
We're home. Chaos has ensued. Basically, the last Tuesday in February I found a listing for a house that on paper looked perfect. On Thursday I found out that it really was perfect (perfect town, perfect location IN perfect town, perfect number of bathrooms (a real sticky point with us), perfect perfect perfect.) On Saturday we filled out all our paperwork and on Tuesday we found out they accepted our bid. (We beat out three other bidders - fortunately or unfortunately the section of the country I live in hasn't really been affected by the housing crisis all that much.) So a week from start to finish. Before Meli's party on Saturday, we were out of attorney review and had the inspection (still pretty much perfect.) Had her party, left for vacation and now I'm home blogging instead of getting my current house ready to sell. And they start the dreaded drilling on Monday (the drilling/jack hammering on our balcony and the outside of all the windows that will force me from my home - the one I'm currently trying to sell - for most of the daylight hours, six days a week.)
Things are CRAZY. I'm exhausted and the hard work hasn't even begun. Oh and I'll refer you to the video above - the one that shows the TODDLER.
I AM NOT COMPLAINING. Just stating facts. Things are very good, but still crazy. And exhausting.
I might be scarce, you know with the craziness. But I still love you.

ONE YEAR
WE DID IT!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY GIRL! Mommy and Daddy love you more than anything!
Lots to report, LOTS, as life has been incredibly hectic the last ten days. In VERY good ways, but I haven't had a minute to breathe. We're actually in Florida right now on a lovely vacation. All we're doing is eating, sleeping and beaching it. The weather is a fantastic 80 degrees and sunny and as soon as Meli's feet hit the hotel room floor, she walked straight across the room. Trying to get to the beach no doubt.
This has been the most tremendous year of our lives. The ups, the downs, the in-betweens. Thank you all for sharing this journey with us. We so appreciate the support we've been given in the first year of our daughter's life. I, for one, can't wait for the next year!
Thank you!
L, C, G & M!
