Finally found time to post here! The whole moving thing has totally messed with my blogging time. There are SO MANY things to do as we get the house in order. Lots of fun stuff like painting and digging out from under all the boxes. Lord willing, this is the last time for a LONG time. I keep telling myself that when I’m tempted to complain about going through all our junk. Actually, I don’t mind painting all that much, as the end result is totally worth it, and I love throwing stuff away, so this is the perfect opportunity to get rid of stuff we’ve been carting around with us for the last 8 years. So anyway, I’ve been pretty busy between all of that and trying to keep Little D fed.
This kid has the biggest appetite. I can’t believe how much he packs away into that little tummy of his. It’s a little worrisome actually, since the genes my husband and I have passed down to him are not, um… the skinniest genes ever. Some mealtimes I have to just cut him off- no more food for you! I have nothing left in the kitchen to feed you! He must be doing some serious growing. This is no surprise, since after carrying him for just a little while, my arms feel like they’re going to fall off. Gotta build those “Mommy Muscles” back up- they’ve gone a little flabby since I stopped carrying Big J around.
So, our big splurge after buying the house was a shiny new dining room table. I wanted to make the dining room an office, but Mark convinced me that it was time to be grown ups and have some grown up furniture and I’m glad he did because the table is bee-yoo-tiful. We went shopping at a couple of places and only found one we liked. Furniture is one of those few areas in our marriage in which there is perfect harmony. Actually we would have passed it right by, but then we noticed the sign on the table said it was part of the Cindy Crawford Collection. Well, that does it. I mean the table was designed by Cindy Crawford! We must have it! She is obviously a *model* of taste and class and just having a table in our house from her collection will magically turn us into beautiful, perfect people. Yada, yada, yada… Seriously, why does Cindy Crawford have a furniture line? What does being a super model have to do with furniture? Why does having her name on a “collection” suddenly make it more marketable? That’s just sad people.

Sounds like fun being able to get the furniture that you really love. We hope to move to a bigger house one day. We don’t mind moving we done it a lot already but no with kids it brings along a whole new dimension.
