i find myself saying "whoa" a lot these days

Sweet jeebus in hebbun!! It's been a long time since I've posted. Granted, I have had a few things going on:

- I have a small baby who requires that I hold her all motherloving day long, which makes getting things done absolutely impossible. She just turned 5 months old last week. I know, I didn't even post her 4 month picture. The lighting was crappy and most of the ones I took turned out really gimpy looking. So no 4 month picture, straight on to 5 months if I can ever find my camera cable. Why can't I find my cable? Because....

- We moved! We bought a house and moved into it. We are no longer in the ugly and smelly rental house that I feared I was doomed to spend the rest of my days in. If you take the square root of badass and multiply it by awesomesauce plus a kilogram of faerie dust, then you'd have our house. It's so perfect for our family and I'll start to post some pictures just as soon as I find that aforementioned lost (really just packed away) camera cable. I will warn you though, there are some really ridiculous looking things the former owners did to this house that I will eventually remedy, but will take time and money. For example, the master bathroom has been spackled roughly and sponge painted to look like...I don't know. It honestly looks like a mud hut from a very poor village, except done on purpose. It's the very reason the word ridonkulous was created. Still though, I love this place. Love.

- Julian, though I love him to bits, has been driving me effing insane this summer. And I can understand why. He has a new sibling and has moved again (the move from L.A. was really hard for him) and is bored out of is mind because every time he wants to do something I'm all, "Not now, sweetie. I have blabbity bloobity blarga to do. Later, okay?" Poor little dude. The move, although very good, has been very hard for all of us. It's been draining.

Just so I'm not leaving you all with no pictures, here are some I just found that Julian had taken a couple of days ago with PhotoBooth on my computer:



And one of Audrey looking so cute I could eat her up like the Klondike bars (gluten-free!!) that I've been obsessed with lately. What is cuter than a naked, sleeping baby? NOTHING. I challenge you not to physically ache when you look at this picture:
