Making it...

The past couple of weeks have been up and down here - we're way up now because we've gotten past a few bugs and the Hanky boo is sleeping much better. Almost 5 years into this gig - I really think almost everything in life comes down to 3 simple things: sleep, food and lots of love. Have those and you're set and the first has more weight than I sometimes want to admit.

We are rolling, reading, baking, building legos, and watching elmo most hours of the day. Turner is off the hook excited about his 5th birthday - his preschool class will be joining us on Saturday for the Birthday Olympics. He received and early gift from Big Turner - tickets to his beloved Celtics. He and Matt had a very special night. Thanks T!






Jane continues to make us laugh with her 2 year old antics - as most people are tyring to wean their toddlers off of the pacifiers, Jane now has a collection in her crib. She was crying out for her dropped "mumbo" in the middle of the night so we tried the solution of just adding more. However, now she loves to count and is not happy if she cannot find all 4! She also looked through her baby book the other day and lovingly pointed out all of the pictures where she had her mumbo as if she was with a best friend. It's here to stay for awhile longer and we realize that sometimes our strategies just don't work.

Our house is on the market again - check us out at www.66summernatick.blogspot.com. It adds an element of stress I have to admit, but every thing is an opportunity and so we are waiting for our adventure to begin (this is how we have been trying to sell it to Turner who really does not want to move away from Jim, KayKay, Ben and Gracie) and in the mean time practicing being present to today. If we can be present in the midst of this uncertainty, we'll be pro's at it in the future.
