4 am

What's on my mind-

Homeschooling

My daughter wanted to go back to school this year... So we're giving it a try.I just can't shake the homeschool bug so I've been very eagerly coming up with a Preschool plan for my 3 year old. I am very excited and looking forward to our new schedule.

Also.. My son is awake.. I like schedules.. My 4 month old usually sleeps through the night from about 10:30-7am.. But today he decided to be wide awake at 4am... And I can't stop thinking about how this will effect my day with my older kids today... Is it too early to start my coffee... Where is my espresso machine? O yeah, I don't have one. Have to add that to my Christmas list.

I heard something amazing yesterday and I have been so excited that I am going to try it! Baby led weaning!! I am all about no fuss and leave out all the bells and whistles with this baby and he seems to be my happiest yet so I think this might just work! Anyone have any experience with this? Let me know!

What else... I had no idea that the train comes by twice between the hours of 3-4:30am.

Moving

Just an update...

We are Moving!!! Yes, we finally made the leap and found the next home for our family. As you know, we live in a 2 bedroom condo now with now 3 kids. We have been praying for some time now for God to lead us to our next home and we are happy to announce we are moving in 2 weeks!

Our new home is more into "the country" than the suburbs I've lived in for 27 years. It is 15 minutes away but it really does take you away from all of the city...or crowded suburbs.

Although it will be an adjustment for me, our kids are so excited!! They love the outdoor space and the beautiful views!

So back to moving.... Phew!!! It has been a good 4 years since I have moved and it defiantly is different now. It is making me feel so old! I used to be able to get it all packed in a day or two but now I am finding myself taking
More breaks. There always is a good feeling about moving!! Cleaning out all your junk and getting rid of all unnecessary things is so refreshing!! It is also a good way of letting things go!

The Struggles...

My toddler! My wonderful and spirited 3 year old son is having a harder time with boxing up his toys and getting rid of the old ones... All of sudden they are all his favorites! Go figure??!!

But I have a hard time boxing up my books and convincing myself that I can go 2 weeks without needing to read them!

The fun part....

Thinking of all the new decorations and furniture that will complete our new home!

And the feeling of closing a chapter of our lives and starting a new one... And trust me..there are quite a few things we are closing the chapter on!
