Just a check in post

- Packing is still going. It really is amazing the amount of stuff you accumulate in 3 years. Not to mention I keep buying new things. My dad and Lisa gave us the 2 beautiful chairs I was dreaming about and Jonathan has a new ridiculously hideous club chair. Throwing away stuff has been wonderful therapy! So far we have donated 12 bags of clothes to the Raleigh Rescue Mission and thrown away 23 bags of junk!

- Hudson had a wonderful day at school yesterday. His teacher said it was the first day he talked. I told her she was in for it now. When he is home with us he hardly takes time to breathe, he talks so much.

- Mimi is still alive! We made it 1 week without killing a fish.

- I really, really want to paint the foyer black and white stripes


- Hudson is obsessed with little trains (not his big train on his super expensive train table anymore) and little matchbox cars. This is what he is currently doing. The boot obsession is back too


- He is really coming into his own. Yesterday when I told him we were going to the grocery store to pick up dinner he said, "Well only if I get a cookie." He thinks he is the boss of this house.

-My excitement about moving keeps me up at night. I am so, so happy to be getting more space, a huge backyard and no neighbors on each side like our townhouse is now. I love driving by our new home and seeing all the young families out walking or playing with their kids in the yard. I love that we know over 10 families in the neighborhood.

Have a great day everyone. Thank you for listening to me babble!
