Busy Busy

First and foremost, my parents are the most thoughtful, caring, giving, supportive, helpful, loving people I know. I was telling my friend today that saying thanks just doesn't do my gratitude justice. They are always so eager and willing to bend over backwards to help our little family...and of course they have just struck again with their generosity. My mom flew down on Saturday morning and drove the Subaru back to St. Louis today. That helped us out a TON because we sold the Civic so now we only have the truck to move back next month. My mom volunteered to drive all by herself back to St. Louis. SO KIND and GENEROUS. Love that woman. And while she was here my Dad was taking care of our dogs in St. Louis and painting the nursery at the Brophy Ranch in preparation for Cole. Don't know what we would do without them. SO thankful.
Now that I got that out of my system, here's a quick update. Things have been so crazy (in a good way) that I actually had to look back on this blog to see what day Drew turned in his phone so I know when I'll hear from him next. If he turned in his phone on Monday for 10 days I guess I should hear from him Thursday? I guess I'll know when he calls. Can't wait to talk to him!! So many things have happened with the house, my mom's visit, packing...etc. His boss has been emailing us updates from training and it sounds like things are going great so I can't wait to hear all about that too. I have had to make some pretty big executive decisions but fortunately Drew has complete confidence in my decision making ability so better not mess it up now! I'm pretty happy with how much I have been able to get done already. We should be in good shape when Drew gets back that we can hang out instead of having to pack all day everyday. I want to relax and spend fun time together as much as possible so that's exactly what we'll do!
Somehow I did not get one single picture of my Mom and Cole. We were able to sneak away from packing both nights to enjoy good dinners but no pics. At least they'll be together again in about four weeks. This next month is going to be a whirlwind.
Pics from this week have a common theme: Cole's new thing is sitting up all by himself. He likes to show off his skills while we are making the bed in the morning. Such a big boy.



He sits up and his hair stands up. :)
