I promise I have not forgotten!

I had to take a blogging break. I tried to blog about making A's food, but the pictures were being difficult, so I quit. Then we went to Panama City Beach, FL ( !!) and had an amazing time. Then, my mom and dad came to visit before we left for a Family reunion over fourth of July weekend! It's been crazy busy here. However, we have settled down some. We're all un-packed, laundry is done, and the only piece of furniture in our room is our mattress.

My Child is crawling up a storm now. She stands on everything, and she's 7.5 months. I'm not quite sure when she got so big but I love it and hate it all at the same time. I love that she can move on her own more, I hate that she can move on her own more. Her arms have gotten a million miles long and enjoys spilling drinks on the end table. I love that she can come to me and crawl up my legs and reach to me. However, while trying to pay the bills/ do the dishes/ dust/ clean, etc, it makes for a difficult time. She decided it was time to ditch her sleeping through the night thing. She prefers to wake up and party, demanding there is some one in the room with her while she is awake. This, needless to say is frustrating, and if you can make her stop, please come immediately. I will provide airfare and lodging ( at my house) and All of your meals will be provided ( I am getting better at cooking, promise!). I'm getting a little desperate for a good night's sleep!

In other news, we have roughly 6 weeks to finish getting everything ready to go to Japan ( ah!) Since we will be vacationing the month of September, and the movers come like, the day after we get back home. Six weeks to sell our vehicles, find a renter for the house, find a home for Izzy, sell/ donate the stuff we don't need and document everything that we're actually taking with us. Yes, this makes me very dizzy- but excited! Except for the whole finding a home for Izzy thing.

In cooler news- My momma started a recipe blog of awesomeness! Check it out!
