Where has time gone?

Whew! It's been forever since I've updated this blog, and yet it feels like it was just last week. Time is moving very quickly in the Martin house as we prepare for the arrival of Baby #2, who will be here NEXT MONTH!! What the crap?

Olivia celebrated her 2nd birthday on August 7, which only makes time seem to go faster. I can't believe that she's as old as she is. It is so much fun to watch her develop and mature and discover things for the first time. She makes a big deal about everything and even the tiniest accomplishments are quickly followed by a very Southern, "I did it! I did it! I did it!"

Aubrey put the window in our new family room today. He first had to remove a door (it will take some getting used to not having it) but the new window looks FABULOUS! It lets in so much light. That was the last major piece of construction left on the new room. Over the next three weeks, he will finish the drywall, paint and lay carpet. That will get the room usable enough to set up the TV, etc., and then we can take our time with detail and trim work. I know it doesn't sound like a lot, but when you consider that the cieling needs painting, everything needs primed, the closet needs organizing...it adds up.

Olivia also moved into her big girl room a couple of weeks ago. She loves sleeping on the double bed and I love that she's out of the nursery and adjusted well before the baby arrives. She continues to make steady progress with the potty. I don't push her, though. I figure we'll really start laying the hammer down after Christmas.

Sorry there aren't pictures. It was either type an update or wait for pictures to load. Pictures take forever to load on my blog because of my camera. I'll get pictures of Olivia's birthday party, new bedroom and some sewing projects up at some point. Time may move fast in our house, but y'all know I seldom pace myself with it!
