Snippits

Life is crazy, crazy busy and wonderful these days!  But, that doesn't leave much time for blogging.  I've really, really wanted to be better about it.  However, this neglect may continue until we're settled into our new home in Concord.

Speaking of Concord, we are currently in the middle of trying to find a place to rent (we may sign a lease this week?).  And, we'll likely be headed out in about a month.  I am super excited about our new home.  I couldn't ask for a more family friendly place to live.  There will be plenty for Calvin and I to do to keep ourselves busy while Devin is working as well as lots of fun things for us to explore as a family when he actually has time off.  We should have about two weeks to check out our new town altogether before Devin starts work, too!

Since we are leaving, we've also got our home on the market.  It's a little rough knowing that this home with so many wonderful memories will no longer be ours.  But, I like to imagine that the new owners (whenever they come along) will love it just as much and make lots of happy memories of their own here.  We put a lot of work in on it to hopefully sell a little quicker, too.  It wasn't the most fun spring break ever, but it really does make the house shine.

Calvin continues to be amazing.  My breath catches every time I think about the fact that he is nearly a year old, but he is just sooo much fun.  He dances to any and all music (including hymns at church!).  He mimics any noise he hears including a dog's howl or a cough.  He finds his belly button if you ask him to, and he points out our noses, mouths, and eyes.  Calvin is pretty much down to one nap a day.  I love that he is such a happy, smiling, laughing baby.

In other news, Devin graduates medical school NEXT WEEK!!  We also celebrate our fourth anniversary in  four days, too!  And, we have a million gazillion little things to do to get ready for this move and transition into the next phase of life, but it really is happening and that boggles my mind a little every day.  Even with everything going on, though, life could not be more perfect.  Once I clear my mind of to do lists at the end of the day, I'm left with gratitude for this happy little crazy life of mine.
