Well it hasn't quite been 14 months yet (the 11th is on Monday) but I rarely get a chance to sit down and write, and I'm taking this opportunity.
Our babies are getting really big now and are both running everywhere. They're now saying "dis" & "dat" as we'll as their previous vocabulary. It's so fun to watch them play games with each other and we often have quiet play time where they choose a toy and run around with it. Our new favourite thing is a soccer ball which both babies kick and throw around the house. Hayden can also catch now if you toss a small ball or a ball of socks to him. They still amaze me every day.
Our new house is coming along and I had the chance to go inside for the first time this week. We are still quite a long way off with a projected completion date of "end of June".
I've been spending my days working on purging, organizing, cleaning, painting and staging our current house. It is starting to look really good and we now have an inventory of all our things. It felt good to get rid of a bunch of stuff we no longer needed, or knew we had, too. I will miss this house. Our first house. We built it while we were quite young, got married and had babies while living here. It's been good to us and I can only hope the next owner will treat it with love.
With all of this work we've been doing we've been getting the babies to help or hang out while we do a chore. I think it can't be super exciting for them but they always seem to get into something fun. Like the paint or the packing tape or pushing Rubbermaid bins around. I guess when you're one, everything is fun!
