Livin’ large, one box at a time

Slowly but surely we’re starting to get settled. Pre MR, I would have been packed and unpacked in no time at all. Not this time. I’ve come to terms with the fact that there is absolutely nothing wrong with using a U-haul box as an end table. Or electrical ties as shower rings (thanks for the tip Papa Joe). Or even hairspray to ward off the relentless ants that have made a home in my kitchen due to Hurrican Fay.

This move has brought me to my knees more times than one. It has also proved to be an effective means of birth control for the next two or more years. With only 3 bedrooms, there is no room at the Harvey Inn for another little one. Alright, alright, I know. I’m probably going to eat these words. The reference alone guarantees that I will be the next sporting elastic waste jeans…

Yep, we’re down to the nitty gritty and still on speaking terms. At 11 months, MR is cruising around the house and pulling up on any and everything she can get her hands on. Her toy of choice has become the Comet can under the kitchen sink. Needless to say, G and I have lots of baby-proofing to do in the days to come. We also have lots to look forward to this week. On Thursday we’re headed to Athens to visit with Aunt Cookie (Lauren) and on Sunday we’re off to Griffin to celebrate Baby Reynold’s first birthday. In the meantime, it’s back to the boxes…

    I swear MR has grown a mile since y’all left C’ville. Her hair is so stinking cute. She looks like a big girl in that last picture.

    MR’s little butt cheek hanging out of the diaper is too cute!

    Can’t wait to see more pictures of the house….Hope you are getting settled in nicely…

    You just would not beleive Big Daddy, I thought we were going have to drive to Smyrna on Sunday. He invented the word nostalgia. Maybe after spending a week with Hendley he will be worn out from little girls.

    MR looks like a real cowgirl enjoying her ride!, Love, Gran C

    OMG!!!! Look at her hair!! It has tripled in amount and thickness since I last saw her. And, I agree with Julie; she looks a lot bigger since y’all moved. Good grief, there’s a first birthday right around the corner, huh?

    Glad y’all are settling in.

    Another thing – I just noticed your blog title. My pig has said Livin’ Large now for a week. Great minds think alike…

    So glad all is going well! Happy for you guys to be back down south in time for football season… even if it has to be in support of UGA. Wish we were there, there’s just something about it, huh? War Eagle anyway!

  7. None of it matters — you’re all together, Garrett has a new job, and you’re HOME IN GEORGIA! There’s lots of time to unpack…
