Hanging out and Getting Ready

We've been in a bit of a holding pattern. We have been in the process of moving for almost eight months. It seems to be coming to an end. We are hoping to close on our new house in Phoenix by the end of the month. We are praying that there are no snags, no logistical issues, no red tape.


In some ways, this is the calm before the storm, because moving across the country will be a storm. Everything will be new and a challenge and probably somewhat exhausting.


On the other hand, it will finally be an end to many months of only seeing Tim every other weekend and that has been a storm too.
Since the weather in Chicago is turning decidedly Winter-like, we have been doing a lot of coloring...
...a lot of cutting and pasting...

...and a little bit of painting.


We have been making the rounds to our favorite playgrounds when it's warm enough...and sometimes even when it's not.



We've started to get ready for the Holidays and my Christmas cards even arrived in the mail yesterday. This is a huge organizational feat for me. We are looking forward to a few (easy) holiday projects and to Cate's Christmas program at school which is less than a month away! Crazy!

I love how cates hat in the first pic is the calm before the storm. I can't wait to see her storm hat.
