words

I realize that I've been sort of a lazy blogger lately... good about getting photos and videos up, but a little short on words.

So here are a few updates for my (five or six) loyal readers and anyone who may have stumbled upon our blog:

• We move to our new apartment in 11 days. Boxes are starting to surround me, but I still haven't fully digested this fact. I have digested the fact that packing an apartment is a lot harder with a one year old running around.
• Packing has its benefits. I found my long lost black dress!!
  
• The weathermen are predicting up to a foot of snow in NYC overnight tonight. I don't have a lot of faith in the weathermen, but I am still feeling a bit regretful that I haven't managed to replace my old winter boots yet.
• Simon is getting so close to walking on his own. Really cool or really scary???
• Wearable or not, these sneakers are definitely coming with me to the new apartment.
  
• We have our six month post placement homestudy visit this week.
  
• I am craving a beach vacation right now.
  
• I spend too much of the little spare time I have researching family-friendly boutique beach hotels.
• In less than 5 months, Simon has grown about 4 inches and gained 5 pounds.
• Our baby fish had babies. We are fish great-grandparents (or is it great-grand-fish-parents?)!
  
• Despite the chaos, life with Simon, EJ and several dozen fish is fun!
