-- Busy packing to move! We are actually going to stay here until next weekend, but we'll move most of our stuff out this weekend.
-- I'm heading to the new house this afternoon when the inspector is there and I'll snap some pics with my new Canon Elph! Keep in mind, carpet and paint are being replaced. The colors are not too pretty. Have vision people! :-)
-- Yesterday, Olivia woke up and asked me if Santa had brought more toys. When I said no, she replied, "I need more books, mama!"
-- I've been telling her about the new house every day to prepare her. Finally yesterday, I started talking about it again and she said, "We go to new house. I KNEW that!!" Ha! I guess she gets more than I think! :-)
-- I can see lots of tummy movement from the outside! Baby boy is getting big. :-)
-- Olivia is an artiste extraordinaire. She can draw a face, eyes, and circles around the eyes for glasses. The other day, she actually drew lines for legs and colored balls at the end of the feet, telling me, "look! legs with shoes!" Isn't she a little young to draw like that? Perhaps I gave birth to the next Picasso. Her understanding of things is amazing, it really is. I definitely wasn't that smart as a kid. I'll post a pic of some of her drawings when I have access to a scanner again. It's all packed up!
Ok, off to make a million phone calls, go to the bank, then see the lender, grab lunch, head to the new house, and then back home again for a workmen to give me an estimate. Whew!!!
BTW, thanks so much for all your kind comments. It's nice to sign on and have something to smile about it the midst of the chaos. I'm sorry I've been a stranger on some of your blogs. I try to read when I can, but I haven't commented since it takes more time and I want to pack in as many as I can. When I'm at my parents', I'll have a big break! :-)

Moving can be such a chore! You do have lots of fun stuff to do...Just pretend you are on HGTV and are preparing to show the new house "before" and "after" photos. YOu can have a blast. Especially the afterwards and complete contentment stage!
Happy Happy Joy Joy!!!! This can be really exciting! I look forward to pics~
