Too much

I haven't been updating because I haven't had time. Between the garage sale, having weekend guests, and packing to move, I've just been going in twenty different directions. We close on the new house this afternoon, so today starts the 10 day painting/cleaning/packing blitz before we settle in to our new place. Don't be alarmed if you don't hear from me (other than the big 1 year post for Grady next Tuesday--don't even get me started on how he's a year old already).

Thankfully, we've had and will continue to have lots of help. My parents are planning to come get the new house ready this weekend, and Mike's parents (especially his mom) have been great about watching the boys so I can get stuff done around here. And it looks like we're going to have a hell of a moving crew, so I'm pretty excited about that. This is the first in-town move Mike and I have ever made together, so it's going to be a new kind of adventure (one without the hour(s) of driving between packing the truck and unloading it!).

In between all these crazy things, the boys are doing well. Evan continues to love t-ball and being outside, and his language skills are still improving steadily. He's also become so much more social, especially out in public. It's wonderful to see him blossoming this way. Grady is just great--his third tooth is almost fully in, and he continues to stand on his own but won't take any steps. He's become quite the little imitator, pretending to talk on the phone or help with laundry or eat with a fork. He's willing to try almost anything, and the results are usually quite amusing.

That's all for now--Ev's about to get off the bus and I'm sure there's something else I should be doing. Wish us luck the next two weeks, because we're going to need it!
