SO UMMM...

luc is napping and i really want to blog. sitting down to write a bit always helps me feel more balanced- it's a good reminder that somewhere under 'wheels on the bus' and 'popcorn popping' i have an intelligent mind. it's a good outlet for me.

my problem today is that i have nothing to blog about. we're in that limbo stage of checking off to-do lists right before the big stuff happens. orlando is busy preparing for finals. i've been packing and going through all our closets, getting ready for our yard sale and luc has been watching word world and despicable me {have i mentioned that movie is his very favorite thing of all time? he asks for it everyday and mimics the different characters. it's pretty cute.} and helping me by emptying boxes as i fill them.

i have been taking luc out everyday for our fill of sunshine, and its usually the best two hours of my day. he's so happy outside and i stop being busy and play with him and it's a little slice of heaven. if it would start being warmer than fifty degrees, we would stay out even longer. today we went on a walk and stopped to watch the loader and the dump truck working on our street. we sat on the grass for almost an hour and watched while they dug and dumped dirt, and luc was enthralled the entire time. we waved and clapped and had the most wonderful time, just hanging out, talking about big trucks and dirt. he kept grabbing my hand and gesturing excitedly, looking at me to make sure i was just as excited. i love his newfound passions and it makes me so happy when he wants to share them with me.

also, we got orlando's graduation announcements in the mail and it was kind of a shocking reality check. he is really graduating. we are really almost done with school. IT'S REAL! i'm having a hard time believing it, i keep opening the box to see if they're still there and this is really happening.

i wish i could say i'm ready for all the changes ahead, but i'm a comfortable person and it's really comfortable here in our little house on clifton blvd. so while i'm excited, i'm definitely not ready.

but it's coming, ready or not.
27 DAYS LEFT!

watching the trucks this morning. i love his face.
