beach bums




these 2 little girls have had a blast this last week. they are only 9 months apart and are loving the bonding time.




today...the beach. we have been in Newport for a week and the weather has been good but it has been perfect the last 2 days!

i am so glad taylor had a "friend"(as avery calls her) that could keep her entertained on this trip.

breathe

How come sometimes life can be slow paced,
nothing exciting planned,
and just the daily routine over and over

...simple...

and then, WHAM!

Everything hits you all at once.
Why? Why does this always happen?

***


Let me explain:

This week, started out normal, nothing big planned,
just sewing and getting ready for our trip
this saturday (newport, disneyland, etc).

then...

WHAM!...it hits.

First there is the sewing,
oh the sewing. So many orders, so little time,
but I love the extra money.

Then there is the packing,
writing out my list of what to pack,
what I need to get at the store,
washing several loads of laundry
and making it all fit into 2 small suitcases.
{i am attempting to travel light...we will see}

then, comes house hunting.
we started last week and this week
it just took off.
we found a place we really like,
just trying to make it all work out for us.

....breathe....


plus the house hunting has resulted in
3 trips down the canyon with both kids
in 3 days, with little or no naps,
many on the road diaper changes,
eating out for lunch, and
arriving home past 3:00,
then having to figure out what to do for
dinner at 4:00.

...and having to go the post office
with 2 huge boxes and 2 kids.
have you ever done that?
it is a weekly thing for me.

***

And know I have 1 day to left
to pack everything up,
run to the store,
return some clothes,
finish an order and ship it out,
maybe finalize on a house,
and get on that plane.

I can't wait to get away and relax,
enjoy the warmer weather,
introduce Disneyland to Taylor,

and
