Getting it done!

Thanksgiving weekend have been very busy. I feel like I have not stopped at all, but honestly it feels good. I had my hubby work pretty hard too, and what have we accomplished?

• Cleaned the whole house
• Washed curtains
• Bubblewrapped windows
• Hosted Thanksgiving
• Cleaned the whole house again
• Installed new bathroom faucets
• Installed a chandelier
• Got a Christmas Tree
• Decorated for Christmas
• Cleaned the yard
• Caught up on freelance work

So that's a big chunk of my list, although some of those are constant tasks. As far as cleaning, and catching up on freelance, I can start that all over again. But it's all good! So blessed to have work and so blessed to have a great family. Ms. Emma's been pretty busy too. She is growing like a weed and talking up a storm. It's starting to become "normal" that she speaks.  We no longer oooh and aaah over words she says, but moving onto having a conversation which is CRAZY if I think that only 20 months ago she was sooooo tiny! I mean, look at her!

This is what happens when I drop her off at school. No crying, snacking like a big girl, all fashionable...I need to hang onto every moment before they slip away. It's like this song from Darius Rucker:

It won’t be like this for long
One day soon that little girl is gonna be
All grown up and gone
Yeah, this phase is gonna fly by
So, he's tryin’ to hold on

Or like this one from George Strait:

Life’s not the breaths you take
The breathing in and out
That gets you through the day
Ain’t what it’s all about
Ya just might miss the point
If ya don’t slow down the pace
Life’s not the breaths you take
But the moments that take your breath away

Anyways! I'm trying to keep those in mind. And if I think that I am busy now, I just have to remember that in only 5 more months my second child will arrive. Ha!
