Update

I feel like I have nothing to say in my posts right now and that's interesting as I actually have a ton of stuff going on in our little old Suburban Cliche life. Because of this paradox, I'm compelled to admit that I'm being closed-off and introspective as of late. This happens. And for me, this happens a lot. (Not "alot." Please read here for more of that.)

I have a hard time sharing things as they are happening. I prefer to share after the fact because I know what happened and how to best tell the story. And I hypothesize a lot. I think I get it from my Mom. Go ahead, ask her if she would like chocolate or strawberry ice cream and you shall receive the world's longest answer that will most likely conclude with, "Well, that depends."

So there's my genetic pre-disposition for hypothesizing combined with my brother Dan's irrational hatred of poorly told stories leaving me feeling anxious about sharing too much too soon. But nonetheless...

We're almost ready to move into our new house. I think we close on the May 6th. And we're SO excited. Excited for the kids to have their own rooms. Excited for us to finally have a little space to ourselves. A laundry room? An office? What?!? So exciting. And the Washington Popes will be coming out to give us a big old hand. Can't wait to see everyone!

We're getting ready for the little bug's first dance recital. June 6th. She's practicing very hard. And we signed her up for preschool starting after Labor Day. Seems all too soon.

Parker is becoming a little person scrambling all of the house playing Peek-a-Boo with Ellie at every opportunity, laughing his face off, and getting ready to walk. (Please just walk, Parker.)

So much stuff. I'm sure I'll fill in the stories a little bit more as I figure out how they really go. More to come.
