Curls, Curls Everywhere
On Two Legs
Little Miss H finally decided it was time to walk. She's been doing so for about a week now and walks instead of crawls a little more each day. When she wants to get somewhere quickly though she still drops and hoofs it on her knees. My baby is growing up. Its a bitter sweet moment.
And here are a few more photos, purely for the cuteness factor.

Whew!!
I haven't really posted lately, because life has been a little hectic and there have been so many things to do that blogging kind of landed at the bottom of the list.
So what's been going on the last 2 months you may ask. Well, first we moved from our condo into our very own house.
Before:
After:
(The window at the bottom of the porch stairs is where the garage is - yip, I have windows in my garage.)
We literally doubled our living space overnight. I LOVE IT!!!!!! The condo was a ground floor unit and only had windows on one side. It always seemed dark. In the house I have windows and light and it makes such a difference. The girls are loving having a yard to play in, and both of our nextdoor neighbours have kids the same age as Taz and she has already taken liberties with just walking into their yards and playing with the kids.
The house was move in ready, but not so move in ready that I'm going to feel guilty about ripping things out and replacing them with my own style. It definitely needs a new coat of paint and I'm excited to get going.
So we moved, and literally 4 days later Mack left for Korea for just under a month, so I was left with this to contend with:
And on top of that, I had just started training for a new job. I was in training from 7am-3pm every week day. My training ended the day before Mack left, and then I worked at the center for 2 weeks (thur - sun), and now I work from home. Its been a rough transition, but we're finally settling down, the boxes are mostly packed away and I've started decorating (mostly in my head for now though) and getting things organised.
Health wise its been tough too. I have been trying to figure out what is wrong with me for so long now, that it almost seems unreal that I've been getting a few answers. Turns out I have Lead poisoning. I know? Seriously? And I have NO idea where I could have gotten it from. The heavy metals in my system did a number on my adrenals and my thyroid which have been causing the insomnia, muscles pains, anxiety, fatigue and overall craziness. So now I'm on a cocktail of drugs to try to calm things down and get the lead out of my system. After a few months, the hope is that the toxins will be out of my system and my body can start re-learning how to do what its supposed to do. I am impatient though and so I continually have to take restock of my situation and remind myself of how grateful I am that I am finally getting answers and that I do still have the full function of my body (if not my mind right now.)
I also joined the local gym two weeks ago (which has a great play area and kid care center) so I go every morning, drop the kids off and then get a good workout in. The working out is strengthening my core, which is really helping with my back. I've been in much less pain lately which is such a blessing. And, I've started to lose a little weight - Whoop!
So, now that life is settling into more of a routine I'll start to post a little more, and of course I'm excited to post before and after photos of my plans for the house.
