Packing has begun.  Lord help me.

I’m so incredibly overwhelmed.  Since my desk and real life are in such choas, I need a safe place for my todo list.  Thanks for your patience.

On top of everything associated with moving (cleaning, painting, etc):

  • Finish Quilt Block before Saturday
  • Prepare for Troop 68 Board of Review Tuesday night
  • Update all Troop 68 advancements online and get paperwork to Penny
  • Help J1 pack for youth Group camping trip – leaving tomorrow – oh no! I need to call youth pastor again to find out what he needs to bring
  • Fill out paperwork for CTC before Friday am appt
  • Get authorization from Dr for WIC

Sadly, I know there are things I’m missing…

**Thanks for catching that Julie!!**

We had lots of house drama last night in the midst of JGirl’s birthday but we finally put an end to it and got onto the party!  Here are some pictures:

Her Aunt Anne made a WONDERFUL cake (no picture until I blur her reallife name) and a miniature cake just for JGirl!

Birthday girl (her dress matched the decorations) with Aunt Anne & Cousin K in the background

Daddy helped JGirl taste, I mean open, her presents.

then it was time for cake!  Unfortunately, it didn’t go well.  The cake alone was a big sensory experience and then all the voices and faces, I was pretty worried she’d get overwhelmed.  But we both survived it! 😉

It was a great time!

This is what I was greeted by this morning – doesn’t she look like she had just a bit too much party? lol

I’m sure I’ll be adding more pictures and videos after tonight’s birthday dinner. Grammy, Gr & Gr O are coming to dinner…then Aunt Sue & Aunt Anne & their kids are coming for cake & ice cream. Aunt Anne is making a cake and a cupcake for JGirl! 🙂

Here is a quick video that J3 and I made this morning of the birthday girl. She has a love/hate relationship with that balloon! lol
