apartment living

Apartment living has been good so far. The only real down side has been hoofing it up the stairs. We're on the third floor and there's no elevator. Being 33 weeks pregnant and having a 2 yr old that needs to be carried up the stairs (unless you have an extra 15 minutes to spare) doesn't help the situation. Oh, and did I mention its August... in ATLANTA. We're in the home stretch now though- come on SEPTEMBER!

Maddie's doing great in the apartment. It's interesting- she's in to EVERYTHING. Things she was just never interested in back at the house. So we tend to find random things in random places. Candles in the cupboards, Tuckers toothbrush in her toy basket... etc. She's sleeping in her new room just fine. She has been getting up a little earlier than usual (praying she gets over that soon) but otherwise she's adapted perfectly.

Here are a few pictures of her around new pad.

The kid likes laying on wood... not sure what thats about

She loves flashlights

We are still bringing over random boxes from the house and unpacking. Yes, the house is still intact. No... remodeling hasn't started yet. We're still waiting on the plans to be approved by the city. Apparently we have some sq footage issues that are going to involve us taking down our old shed in the backyard. The shed is ancient and Jim has always wanted to replace it. I guess this is the motivation he needs!

Cross your fingers the plans get approved this week and they can start demolition asap. I don't mind this apartment but I'd really like to be back in the house for Christmas!
