We're about to start the last of three marathon weeks. We're trying to pack & clean up our rental house, paint & fix up our new house, and keep a head count of the children in the process! The kids have been absolute troopers, hopping in the van with me at a moment's notice and driving back and forth (35 minutes each way) from house to house about a million times so far. It's a good thing we keep schooling through the summer, since we need a little extra flexibility during these crazy weeks. It's taken a small army of family and friends to help us get ready to move, so I tried to picture just a few of them on this post.
Also last week, Mike and I celebrated NINE years of marriage! Actually we didn't celebrate at all, not even with a high five or frozen dinosaur nuggets this year, but we're hoping for a date sometime this weekend while all the kids are with family. :)
And finally, Bubby James turned two years old! We're having trouble owning up to the fact that he's a full-fledged toddler. Being the youngest in the family means he still gets treated like a baby most of the time. I have to admit I still hold him on my hip a little too often, but we're just savoring the little guy. He's not the least bit ready to start potty training, and this time I'm not rushing it!

They might be consuming a few more chips, cheese balls and Stauffer's frozen meals than normal. But there are fresh fruits & veggies included too, I just don't have a pic of them!
