In the Midst of Moving

I'm just packing, packing, packing. And instead of things getting neater, they're just turning into more of a mess as drawers and closets are emptied and moving boxes are stacked everywhere.  All this moving is making me so scatterbrained, I hope I remember to take the baby as well.  At least she's already in her moving box and ready to go!

I am really happy that this move is happening this week, not just because then it will finally be over, but because Ellen is getting so mobile now that she is getting into everything and exploring our old home.  Today she figured out that she can pull herself across the floor for longer distances as well and has been going around on her own.  This means that she thinks all the moving stuff is really just her new toys.  Luckily, in three days we'll be gone from here and I'll have a place to hide all this stuff from the baby!
