Gearing up for the Move
The move is only two weeks away, so James and I are trying to get as organized as possible. While we’re not moving far (about a mile away), September 1 is the busiest move-in day of the year around here because of the college crowd, so we’re trying to mentally prepare for a couple days of craziness.
In anticipation of having a moving truck on moving day, James and I went couch shopping this past weekend, and whaddya know? We found one! It’s mossy green, very comfy, it fit our budget, and it definitely beats the crummy futon we’ve been hurting our backs and butts on over the past year. We bought it at Jordan’s.

I also finally had a chance to refurbish the coffee table I bought for $5 a couple of months ago at the Goodwill store. A few screws to fix the wobble, some sandpaper, a few fresh coats of black paint and some elbow grease later – BAM – a beautiful “new” coffee table! It’s a bit large for the living room we have now, but it’ll be just right in our new place.

James and I are looking forward to moving to a bigger space soon, and Emmett should be, too. It’s fully carpeted for the little guy to crawl around to his heart’s desire, and there’s a lot more room for him to get into trouble.
On another note, he’s really been enjoying his solids lately, and he’s truly starting to get the hang of it. Here’s a lovely pic of the aftermath of a meal of sweet potatoes:
Emmett loves sweet potatoes

Age Timer: 7 months, 1 day
happy 7 months (and one day) emmett!! the table looks awesome! now that we are looking for houses, we are in the process of scoping furniture out, too! i think i’m gonna check out a goodwill store around here and see if i can’t find some good finds, too!! thanks for the inspiration!!!
Thanks Justina! Hope all is well with your family, too. Can’t believe CJ is already 8 months. He crawling yet?
He is doing the same thing that Emmett is doing actually! Just started getting on all fours a few days ago. He is now pulling himself up to his knees and then trying to stand… Too much too fast!!
I know – they’re growing up too fast! Emmett tries to pull himself up now, too when he’s on the bed and has pillows to climb on. James keeps saying he’s like a little boy now and not a baby anymore, and I get angry every time.
hahahaha!!!! ME TOO!! Frankie looks at me and says, “Did you realy think he would stay that small forever?”…
Ahhh… Being a mama. There isn’t anything better =)
