Tap tap tap... Is this thing on?

I'm well aware that it has been a long time since I've written a word on this here blog. I'm guilty of neglect. But honestly, I've been a bit busy.

We bought a house, just two weeks from viewing, to offer, and close. Then came all of our household goods. We're just about unpacked now. We still have odds and ends laying all over the place and haven't hung a thing on the walls as of yet.

And then there is the matter of illness. Those of you who don't move around much haven't a clue what I'm talking about. But those that do, especially those that move around geographically, you know how you get hit time and again with the crud. It's the moving crud. And it is merciless. So far the kids have each been hit twice, the parents just once. Reilly Kate is just getting over the worst of it. Poor thing.

Lastly, of course, is the impending birth. I'm still carrying her around my midsection, along with about 40 lbs of famine insurance (read: FAT). I've reached that size where people just stop and stare uncontrollably. I'm a side show freak at this point. I'd post a picture to share but the camera is full and I'm not sure which pile the cable is in to upload the damn pictures to the computer. Which means, if I don't find it soon, we might not even have pictures of the birth or baby.

I'm tired and worn down and huge and uncomfortable. I'm also typing this up on a laptop while sitting on a birthing ball. It's not fun.

But I just wanted to let you all know that we're alive and well and I will get back to blogging soon. Just as soon as I have something interesting to say.
