Slowing Down

My dad left this week but while he was here we sure got a lot done! By the time my mom goes in a few days, we will really be able to slow down and enjoy the house. All of the moving boxes will be unpacked (albiet in some temporary storage) and the rooms will be fairly functional. No shortage of projects that still need to be done, but all the time-critical stuff will be finished. What a relief!

Abigail and Amélie really hit their breaking point on Friday. They were up in the night which hasn't happened in a long time. In need of attention from Mommy and Daddy. We just haven't been giving them enough of it - but now that can change. Good timing.

We have come such a long way in a short period of time. It is hard to remember what it was like and what we have done. Everyone around here is sick and tired of it. Haven't even had time to upload pictures in these past weeks. Time for some rest!
