Crazy. Busy.

Well, hey there. Long time no post. (For me, at least.) Just wanted to check in here to say that we are still alive and well, just busy. Reeeeeally busy. And stressed. As it turns out, this whole sell your house sans realtor/find a home to rent for a year in another city/figure out how you're going to transport your family of five's ridiculous amount of stuff to said city/frantically try to sell or give away as much as possible of said stuff, since moving costs are determined by weight/study for orthopedic boards in July (this is just Brett, but I feel stress on his behalf)/find a "real" job (again, Brett, but it kind of affects me, too) all while trying to be a somewhat patient/attentive/loving wife and mommy is not the easiest thing in the world. I've handled this major life transition less than gracefully at times more than I would care to admit.

Okay, that's enough of that. When I haven't been busy whining about how stressful my life is (all the while knowing that I am beyond blessed to be living it, and my "problems" are not really problems at all), here's how I've been spending my time. This kind of busy-ness makes it all worthwhile. Since you've heard from me last, we've been filling our days...

Using Daddy as a chair for iPad-watching.

Batting our baby blues.

Hanging with girlfriends.

Getting up close and personal.

Starting a band.

Spotting deer in our front yard.

Being super.

Fighting fires.

Jumping (or at least trying).

Givin' the stink eye.

Turning the tables on Mamarazzi.

Having storytime with Daddy.

Sitting on outer space toilets.

Learning to farm.

Practicing good hygiene.

Taking load after load to Goodwill.

Swinging in the sun.

Racing each other to the top.

Not walking on the balance beam.

Coppin' a squat in the grass.

Waiting patiently for after-dinner treats.

Sharing "Superhero" flavored ice cream.

Smuggling sips of milkshake.

Donning Mommy's OSU graduation garb.

Eating wooden puzzles.

Getting the spa treatment from Daddy.

Wrestling on Mommy's bed.

Having playdates with our boyfriend.

Being too cool for school.

Hopefully it won't be too terribly long before I check in again, but I'm trying to give myself a break and not feel the need to detail every waking second of our lives during this crazy season. Brett, Malone, and I are Atlanta-bound this weekend, in the hopes of finding "the house" for our family. Prayers appreciated for us, as well as for Oma and T-Pa, who will be holdin' down the fort with Kaiser and Porter!
