Transition

We are offically homeless right now. Our house sold and we moved out on the 5th of July and are now waiting to close on the new house. The process of trying to show & sell our house, find a new one to buy, pack a house, move out of a house all  the while still trying to stay organized, take care of 3 kids all 4 & under while trying to maintain some kind of normalcy for them is.... well...enough to make you want to go a little bit crazy. Or a lot crazy. And I might have just done that a little bit at times?? All of our belongings were packed into two trucks by movers and is now all in storage.  We don't really even know what's in those trucks but one thing is for sure. We have A lOT of stuff. Our intention was to purge as we packed but it all got a little overwhelming. I did almost all the packing during the weeks leading up to the move during the baby's nap times & with him in the front pack a lot of the time. It will for sure be one of those times that we look back on in the years to come that we will say,  'wow remember that....that really sucked.... but now look at us, we made it through to the other side. We are hoping to close on the new house mid August and could not be more excited to finally get settled and not to be in this flex-mode anymore. This will hopefully be the house that the kids will grow up in. More on the new house later, we really love it.  My blogging, computer, picture uploading time is now not nearly as much as it once was. Chase is fully mobile...crawling, stair climbing & cruising furniture. Not to mention trying to eat everything off the floor. I feel like I can't take my eyes off of him for a minute because I never know what the twinnies leave around on the floor. I love this age/stage but it is a lot of work. Keep posted for some updates!
