Where has the time gone?

We're not gone. We're not hiding. We're just busy.

I'm just going to start it off with a picture. Get it out of the way. It's been a month and you will see the difference in T-baby. She is growing up.



So what is keeping us so busy that we can't find time to write a simple little post or upload a few pictures? We'll, the bulleted list always works well for covering lots of stuff briefly and quickly:

• Work. I am working full time. Sort of. I work a short day so that I can pick up T-baby from school and spend a little time with her before evening falls. Then I have to work some more from home to make up for the short day.
• DH has a new job. (Unfortunately further away from T-baby's school so he is no longer able to help with the drop off and pick up process.
• Home. We decided to move closer to work, school, family.
• We bought a new house. We close on Friday.
• We haven't sold, or even listed, our current house. I am overwhelmed everytime I look around and see how much crap we own that must now go into boxes.
• T-baby. She is finding her way to the "terrible twos" earlier than we hoped. She continues to be a quick study. The big 2 is still two months away, but she is right there with her older counterparts - gaining independence, throwing tantrums, and causing general chaos everywhere.
• Visiting grandparents. God bless grandparents! (and uncles and aunts and cousins!)
  
• Life. It's the day to day stuff that really takes up time. Getting up, getting dressed, getting out the door, eating on occasion, taking baths, saying night-night, collapsing into bed, starting over everyday...
