Moving ...

We are still in the process of moving ... and thankfully there is an end in sight. It's been one of our better moves (this is our 5th move since we've been married ... crazy) but it's also been the perfect storm. Moving during the holidays is a horrible idea. Moving while I'm 5 months pregnant is also a horrible idea. Just before the move Ethan was assigned a special project at work and I was trying to wrap up the sermon series that starts this Sunday. Added stress.

However, we've survived thus far and everything has been moved to our new home and every room in the house is box free except for the master bedroom. We are in L-O-V-E with our new place and look forward to settling in over the next couple of weeks. We are on a little over an acre and have a fenced yard with lots of trees and plenty of room to play in the front. Claire has her own playroom, bedroom and bathroom (spoiled much?). However, soon she'll be sharing all of her space with her baby brother.

Darby is in heaven as well with so much space to roam. I hung the hammock yesterday and Claire loved laying and swinging with me.

Claire has done really well with all the chaos and loved having my parents here. She is growing so fast. I can hardly believe we're about to celebrate 18 months of her precious life. We adore her.

We are in the process of cleaning and painting the old apartment and will wrap everything up this weekend. Really, cleaning the old place is the worst part of moving. ugh!

We couldn't have survived this move without my parents here to help. They were lifesavers.
