how's the packing going??? it's going!
like I said - the more we do the more we look around and wonder if this packing thing will ever get done!! ya never know how much crap stuff you have till it's packing time!!
so here's our progress so far...
our formal has become the 'hot' spot for boxes...
guess it took moving to utilize the game room :)
our use-to-be dining room is now the 'packing' area
as you know - we're TV-on-the-wall type peeps... well, the buyers... not so much! so yes, we had to fill in, patch and paint over where all the flat screens were on the wall! Thanks to our realtor who referred us to Marcos who is wonderful and did it all in under an hour!!!
and the infamous 'green' room... seeing as how this was custom paint and of course, no longer have... what to do??!! BUT - doesn't it look great with no holes :)
good thing - the buyer came by this morning to look at the house and was VERY pleased with all the wall 'fixes' and was A-OK with the two-toned room :)
there it is in a nutshell!! I know right... doesn't look like we've done much... well... WE HAVE!!!
see... the butlers pantry is completely empty...
so... with dray out of town till late Friday - we have decided to take a breather!!!
now I find myself going through all of Bryn's clothes/toys and packing all the stuff we use/don't use... who knew a little one would outgrow so many things so quickly!!!!
now for the fun part... my baby girl!
three weeks in the band and all is going great. oh what a difference it truly makes! it's amazing to see the difference each and every day! I can't express how grateful/pleased/relived that we have such a wonderful specialist w/ cranial tech... shout out to cindy for all her comforting!!
I know we still have a ways to go but after all the stress/heartache/worries/etc. I can now finally say I am super happy we decided to do this!!!
here we are playing before our stretches... and after stretches as momma tries to keep the smile going :)
just a growin' every day!!! she makes me laugh each and every day... from her sounds, to her facial expressions, to her laughter to just being herself! she has brought so much joy to us and I thank God every day for our little girl! this is such a fun age... 7 1/2 months... we feel she'll get up and crawl any day now (she's been practicing :) ) and it's so fun to watch her roll from tummy to back and vice versa. I won't go into all the questions I ask myself / google / do research on... that's a whole other post!! I also won't go into the 'comparing phase' which is where I am right now. she's perfect just as she is and I'm proud of her no matter what!!!
with that... I'll leave you with the best pic ever... and thanks to nana for 'spiffin' it up...
c'mon... who doesn't love a naked baby!!!!!
Wow, what a beautiful family with many blessings to count each day ~ thanks for the updates

i mean, you're telling me big daddy dray won't pay for a moving company to move you guys. geesh. what a tight-wad!
ReplyDeletethat sweet baby girl :: the picture with you in it made me smile great big. it's always nice to see you in them! and i'm SO relieved that it's only taken three weeks to hear that you're A-OK with her band. and super excited you can already tell a difference. awesome!
and girl, i'm 21 months into this raising a baby thing and i can tell you, i STILL struggle with comparing. it makes me nutty. and get mad at myself when i catch myself doing it. so from one comparing mommy to the next :: STOP.DOING.IT!
lastly :: can't get enough of baby bums. too cute!!!
