Can't get enough of new...

Ha!  Actually, I'm not gonna lie, I can definitely get enough of it.  But it's all good.  Ben is off to San Diego for work.  Business trips have always been stressful to me but especially this time.  New place, new town, new people, far from family.  You don't realize just how much comfort can be derived from something as simple as the normal creaks of your house until it's gone.  I'm a big girl tho.  Mia and I are going to have a blast.  I'm burying my anxiety in productivity.  Just today I've put up what feels like a thousand new listings in my etsy shop.  All in all I am super thankful for Ben's job and his opportunity to visit somewhere he's never been before.  And for the girl time with Mia which I guarantee you will be filled with coloring, girly movies (albeit disneys) and simple food (tonight we had fishsticks LOL).  Life is good.  I do my best to never forget that.

Coloring, Avocados and Closet Organization

Another weekend down.  We got to skype with Ben's parents today and work out plans for a couple visits (super excited!!!).  They are going to come visit us this coming weekend and we will be heading to Huntsvegas for a visit in July.

Ben and I got bit by the organization bug today and finally finished sorting out our closets and getting them organized.  We are definitely blessed with having 2 walk in closets in the master bedroom.  The extra space has been a huge life saver.  While we were organizing Mia occupied herself in her room coloring.  She is doing such a great job working on being meticulous and staying inside the lines.  She is also to the point where she has the attention span to actually color the entire picture (and actually gets irritated if interrupted) rather than coloring a little on each page.  :)

We also went to the pool (of course) and decided to go ahead and get Mia a set of arm floats.  She gets very frustrated at the pool since she is stuck to a noodle or other type of floating device.  I'm not a big fan of the arm bands, but we'll try them out and see how they work.  She can't wait for swimming lessons so she can be more independent and play with the other kids.

Tonight's dinner was "fresh tacos" ... carb friendly/whole wheat tortillas, chicken, avocado, tomatoes, green peppers, mushrooms, purple onion and hot sauce.  So very yummy and Mia tried an avocado for the first time!

I visited Target today - it was ummm... very disappointing actually.  It reminded me of the Walmart on Drake Avenue in Huntsville.  Hopefully there is another one in town, but I haven't looked yet.

This weekend was wonderful - full of pool perfect weather and lots of down to earth family time.  Nothing much out of the ordinary. I'm glad we are starting to settle into a routine ... still waiting for this all to feel real tho.
