{catching up}

 So far 2013 has been a whirlwind. How is it already mid February? Between the move, busy times at work, and two crazy almost 3 year olds things have been pretty stressful. Thankfully those 2 crazy almost 3 year olds are also there to provide a good dose of comic relief on a daily basis. While they can test my patience at times, they truly brighten each and every day.  I mean, how can you not smile when you look at the pictures above? Pure carefree joy!

Between all of the crazy times we did squeeze in some fun ... celebrating Hayden's 3rd birthday, an always fun visit with the Schlegels, book club holiday party, lots of indoor fun including running off some steam at the sports club, baking, "camping" at REI, playing with play dough, practicing letters, playing and watching soccer ...

The girls had movie night at school and it was so fun to watch them interact with all of their little friends.  I don't think they watched a minute of the movie :)  The girls were troopers during the move itself and have settled in very nicely at "our new" house.  They got new big girl beds and have been sleeping in their own beds every night since we moved in.  Woohoo! 

I am so grateful to the deLacy's for sharing their beautiful home with us. It truly has helped to make this transition period so much easier!  Life is busy but good.  I want to capture my emotions about moving out of our first true family home ... but will need to do that in another post when I have more time.
