Party like you're three!

Many afternoons and evenings have been well spent playing in the courtyard with these cute kiddos. Maggie learned Lucy's name before even her own. Thanks to great neighbors and friends! They will be missed.


Packing

What have I been up to lately? Well, obviously not blogging. I have been packing up my house, selling furniture, and generally living in a state of disorganized chaos. We will be moving to Ithaca, NY in about 2 weeks for Joe to pursue an MBA at Cornell.

Yes, it does look like a tornado hit our living room, and bedroom, and bathroom. I guess that is what happens when you sell all the furniture that used to hold items. When you get rid of your dresser, naturally, your clothes end up . . . . where exactly? I think the whole problem is that I don't exactly know. I am wearing a skirt which is literally the only clean piece of clean clothing I could find this morning.

Maggie is being a pretty good sport watching her world turn on it's head. Of course, she really has no idea what's going on, but she has started to say "but I miss it" when she watches things (like our kitchen table and her changing table) being carried out our front door. I assured her we would get a new table, so she keeps reminding me that getting a new table is something that we should do. Also, she wants a "cute" new rocking chair. She is fascinated with the idea of a snowman and keeps saying "build a snowman in New York. when it's snowy." I think she might be a little disappointed when she realizes that snowmen don't actually sing and dance, but at least for now, she is really excited to move to New York just so that she can build a snowman, when it's snowy.
For good measure, here is a picture of Maggie dancing her heart out on our coffee table
when we still had one, of course :( 
And, also, just because she is cute, but curse that binky! She loves it so much.
