Things have slowed down up here in the last few weeks....so there isn't really a whole lot going on. We do have some of our curtains up, at least four out of the six for the front room. We have also unpacked my clothes, Elise's clothes, and some of Logan's clothes. We're still working on getting the last dresser in place...and the rest of the things located and unpacked...
Elise is loving her large space in the front room to play. She found her dishes and fake food, and has been playing house. We also found her baby book (the first large scrapbook of the first few months of her life). She loves looking at it. She really likes hearing the story that goes, "Well, you were in Mama's tummy here, and then you came out, and you liked to sleep curled up on my tummy here." She has decided to retell herself this story, and even to practice curling up on my tummy to snuggle whenever she gets the chance. She has always been a little snuggle bug, but lately when she gets up in the morning, she is all about the snuggling. She usually stayed for a couple minutes, then we'd get her dressed, and some breakfast. Now she brings her blanket and glow worm, and settles in. When I ask if she's ready to get dressed, she says, "Not yet...." and sighs peacefully, so we snuggle a bit more. She is so fun. She has been talking about families in nursery, so she talks about it at home. She told me her Grandma Sue and Papa were cool people, and that she loved Grandma Parker. She likes to talk about people coming to visit and bring their suitcases, and about who her different cousins are. Sometimes she gets confused about who the people in family pictures are (which is understandable since she still hasn't met most of them, and let's face it, lots of us girls in my family look alike), and she'll say, "I don't know" if you ask who they are. But there are those she always recognizes....like 'Aunt Merdilee' (Aunt Merridee).
So, I guess that's it. Not tons of things being crossed off our lists...which sometimes gets me feeling like I'm not accomplishing anything, but we ARE getting to spend time together as a little family, and that is the best way to spend our time anyways!
