"Don't use the baby as an ottoman...."  As I was sitting and trying to think about what to post, this is what I hear my 10-year-old say to his 5-year-old sister. It sums up very well what the last six months have been like. A lot of love and a fair amount of chaos.

This seems mundane, a bookfair all boxed up, and ready to go back to Scholastic, but it's the last bookfair I'll be involved in before we move. I'm truly going to miss this, helping to run this for the last few years has been wonderful.

Now my focus is on what we're moving to, it's something I never would have expected, a house this big, it's as close to a "dream house" as we could have wanted. I'm continuing to keep my fingers crossed that everything goes smoothly.

In January both me and Matthew celebrate birthdays, and we celebrated at Disneyland once again. This time we included great friends, and our newest addition...as it turns out, Disneyland with a 4-month-old is actually pretty easy!

The view from our room at the Grand Californian, and worth every penny! Being this close to the park during a four day stay, with three kids in tow, is invaluable. Plus the view is awesome!
