Such a big girl...

I was bursting with pride last night when, while I was making dinner, Kate ran in and said, "Do you need help, Mommy?" She heard me getting ready to set the table and wanted to do it. So here is what she did all by herself... Another "all by myself" moment she had today was getting dressed. She has been dressing herself for a while now but usually something is on backwards or something is missing but today she came out looking like this...

The packing has begun. And I'm not afraid to tell you all how much I hate it! My only saving grace is that I have gotten rid of a few things and I do love that. My kitchen and living room are basically done except for the things I will need for the next couple of weeks. I don't think I've quite wrapped my brain around the idea that EVERYTHING is going to be packed eventually. That is just way too overwhelming to think about. So far, assuming all goes as planned, we are going to close escrow on our old house on March 4th (which gives us until the 7th to get out) and close on our new house on March 6th. So our prayer is that everything goes smoothly and concurrently so we can just move from one place to the other with no hiccups. Here's to the next couple weeks of feeling unsettled because nothing is in it's place and finding more stuff to throw away! =)
