and here: and here: Aha! Here she is doing her daily exercise routine which involves going crazy on the couch. A sure way to find the baby? Just follow the mess!
Since all this packing has begun our days look very different than what they used to. We spend all day in our pajama's, you forget to brush our hair (and even our teeth!!), we watch Madeline and Olivia the Pig. We hear you mumbling to yourself, "this is only temporary." but why don't we make it permanent? We like this!
Where have you been? It seems lately I spend more time with everyone else but you. I'm being put to bed early and going to Grandma's a lot and well, I miss my mommy. What's going on?
Love,
Lexi
Dear Lexi,
I am so sorry. We're moving and packing and it's craziness, I agree. I miss you too! We're almost there, the packing/moving/cleaning it's almost done, I promise! And then things will get back to normal. I think.

At approximately 7:23 every morning Alexandra Joy enjoys a delicious breakfast.
This morning it was a piece of homemade cinnamon raisin bread and a pile of shredded cheddar-like cheese. (I need to go grocery shopping.) She has finally learned to hand me the plate when she is done rather than throwing it on the floor. This is wonderful thing. But the ants are sad, they miss the crumbs.
This week we are getting ready to move. Brian is spending most of his days getting the new house ready (not our new house we're building, but the new rental we'll be living in while we wait for our house to be built.) So while he is over there I'm here with the girls killing time till I can start packing.
Today's activities include:
Playing The King's Speech with the girls
and keeping an eye on Alexandra while she feasts on dirt.
