almost at the finish line

currently i am sitting in my parents kitchen listening to sophia tell my mom she is hungry and here i sit as grama takes over and gets her a snack. we are listening to rosemary clooney. lovely tunes from the 50's. sophia is sporting a pink tutu. prancing all around. playing with buttons and getting into grama's china cabinet. bliss.

my eyes are blurry and tired but i am happy. i keep thinking we have to go home. but wait, we are home. it's a very odd feeling. our suite is almost done. we should be able to paint on monday. my dad will start to install the hard wood floors on monday as well. hoping to be living in the suite by the end of next week. can't wait to have our belongings which will also arrive on monday. i am a girl who loves her space and her things.

looking forward to getting back to a new normal and a new routine for sophia. she is all over the map right now. long naps in the afternoon equals late nights equals tired family. she rocked the ten hour car drive. can i get a hallelujah for portable dvd players! seriously amazing. i was more whiny and annoyed at the ten hour drive then she was.

i am still wrapping my head around everything. so hard to put into words. i hope to start feeling like i am in my own skin again very soon. i also hope my stress acne goes away. so very annoying. im 31 not 13 thank you very much.

i think i might even exhale pretty soon.

sitting in her new butterfly swing grampa bought...

story time with grama. she is showing you one of her altered books she made that was full of baby sophia pictures. you loved it.



tea party time. grama let you get out all the dishes by yourself. you set the table and cut the banana bread. pretty sure you thought you were in heaven. we all enjoyed the tea party with you.



here you are dancing to miss clooney with grama while mommy tries to gather her thoughts into a blog post.



good times indeed.
