Nothing illustrates a hijacked life, like zero blog posts for a month and a half. The short of it is, we are finally moving in a couple of weeks. The house is wonderful and we are very excited, especially about the playset in the backyard and the tree house built into a big oak - that even has a zipline!
The house has a big front porch, a big sun porch on the back, a big kitchen, a big master suite and a big backyard - pretty much perfection for our expanding family.
Getting to this point has been a journey, to say the least. All of my spring plans of bread baking, planting and other forms of goodness were largely hijacked by pregnancy-induced dizziness (literally) and the stress of keeping our house looking perfect for the past six months.
Thankfully the finish line is in sight!
Writing this post, points out that I need to take some pool pictures!
Now that our neighborhood pool is open, Brian and the girls have been swimming every day, and twice-a-day on the weekends. Sizzles is jumping off the diving board all alone (into 9 ft of water) and diving in the deep end for torpedos. That 5 year old girl is brave, brave, brave. Of course, Sticky-Butt is right in the thick of it with her innertube, zipping around and spinning herself in endless circles. As always with that one, every action is peppered with the sound of giggles.
Since I can't have a post without a picture, here is one from the other event that happened this spring - Sizzles' first ballet recital.
To. Die. For.
She looks so grown-up in this image, that I can barely stand it.
She marched right out onto the stage and was the only kid that remembered the whole routine. She might not talk for the first two weeks of school, but you throw her on a stage, flip on the lights and drag in a crowd, and that kid whips out the pizzaz!
She was so proud. And so was her mamma. :)
