2nd post in a week, go me!

Ok well I promised I'd be better about posting and I'm doing my best to keep that word! This week we have been feeling really accomplished about getting some stuff done around the house. Tomorrow marks exactly 1 month since I left my job and although it took a little time to get into a groove (and motivated, the holidays took alot out of us!) we are finally settling into a good routine and that feels awesome! It's nice living in a clean house again, not the cluttered, "a one year old lives here" tornado mess it was while we were both working. It always felt like there were never enough hours in a day to keep up with it all, and still enjoy spending time together as a family. Our next bigger project will be moving the office from the 3rd bedroom upstairs, down to the bedroom in the basement. Not really sure yet what we will do with the old office upstairs when it's empty as we dont' have an extra bed to put in there and make it a guest room, but i'm sure we'll figure out something to do with it. Ok, obviously it'll be another nursery at some point, but I can assure you that won't be in the next 9 months :-)

Ashlynne continues to grow, grow, grow and learn, learn, learn!! This week has been a big clothes dressing/undressing week. She has learned how to take her pants off (which has been alot of fun trying to get her to keep them on let me tell you!!:)) and also she's big on socks. Her socks, Daddy's socks, Mommy's socks, she's an equal opportunity sock fan. She's been pulling hers off since she was probably, I'm not sure, 6 months old?! but now she's figured out she can put them back on, and its even funner to get ahold of big people socks and put those on as well since they have bigger holes and easier to get on. It's pretty funny, they come clear up over her thighs!


Well that's all I have for now! Justin and I begin "operation get the heck back in shape" starting on Monday next week, so I'm sure we'll have something to post about that!
