Busy Two Weeks...

Sorry it's been so long since I've given an update (or what you all really check for - new pictures of Claire!). Things have been quickly progressing on our move. We went down to SA to house hunt last week and now have an official contract on a new house! We are so excited. It's a beautiful house with an amazing backyard, and it's definitely built for a family - with plenty of room for guests! The current owners just built it two years ago and are having to relocate to Dallas due to the AT&T move. Unlike most of the other two story houses we saw, this one has all of the bedrooms on the first floor which is so great with small children. The upstairs has a large gameroom and two smaller spaces that could be for crafts or a small media room, along with two huge closets and a full bathroom. The gameroom/playroom will be perfect for Claire when she gets bigger...and Robert is already researching pool tables. I'll add more pictures after the inspection - I'll try to take lots while we're there.

Monday was my last day of work. The plan had always been for me to return on the 7th, so I went in that day and officially gave notice. It just didn't make sense to really get going on projects when I would turn around and leave so quickly, and there is just so much to do with buying a new house, selling the current house, moving, and keeping up with a 3 month old. After speaking with a few people, we decided that I didn't need to give the typical 2-3 weeks notice, so I took a couple of days to clean out my office and my computer before leaving for good. It's kind of weird to be unemployed, but I'm planning to find something in SA, maybe at a small, local accounting firm. Besides, I have plenty to do right now to stay busy!

Claire just continues to get more entertaining as the days go by. We had to move up a size in pajamas - she's getting so long! She's really enjoying her swing lately (especially when she's tired).

She (finally) began taking naps in her crib. We figured out that if we swaddle her (thanks for the tip, Lindsay!), she'll sleep so good that sometimes we have to wake her up to eat. As of today, she's also learning how to hold her bottle. So cute!
