I'm so stressed out about our housing situation. I need to know where I'm going to be living and how it's going to work very, very soon. All my nesting instincts are jumping up and down and demanding to know why we haven't starting making a place to put the new baby and why we haven't started gathering her little-bitty clothes together. We are waiting on a committee to decide where we are going. Living in community is really beautiful and peaceful in many ways but this isn't one of them.
I really like our little rooms that we live in now-- if only they weren't located in a house full of other people. I really like our living room-- if only we could bring the dogs down there to hang out with us. Maddie and I spend a lot of time on the lawn and taking walks. We have a terrific lawn and great view of the farm.
I'm giving Maddie one more month to be my baby, but she's really a little girl now. She wants to do everything by herself and sit in a real chair and she's talking (and talking and talking) in English, too. She is such a good little girl. She puts away her toys when she's done with them and tells the things she's not supposed to touch, "No, no!" She shares with her cousins and gives kisses to the dogs. She's just so much fun to be with!
Here's a video from this weekend when her Lovell-Rundle family came to visit-- I suggest you watch it in high quality if possible. We had a lot of fun and many pretty hikes. Hopefully we'll be entertaining guests in a new place soon!
Here's our precious new baby!
