A week of firsts

So life is feeling busy, really busy. Within one week we...

1. said "Happy 1st Birthday" to Addison! Didn't celebrate it though, other than go out for pizza. More to follow.

2. bought a MINIVAN!! Or as Makenna calls it, a "vinivan". Long story as to why we got it at this moment in time, though, other than it was inevitable that we'd get one sooner or later. However, I feel like we've finally "arrived"; (two kids, minivan, a mortgage...does this heavy realization ever randomly occur to anyone else, subsequently followed by feelings of contentment and relief, because you can think of a thousand alternatives that are totally worse?)

3. finally decorated a bathroom that was put on the back-burner since we moved in. However, I had good reason to hustle my bustle because in a few days...
4. we'll have Grandma and Gigi coming to visit for one whole week! Gigi (Great-Grandma to my girls) has never been to visit us since we've moved to NoVa and we are thrilled she's finally coming out and spending lots of QT with us:)We waited on Addison's bday celebration so we could do it together with these favorite ladies.


But enough blogging. The Bachelor is recording and I can't stand it another minute not to turn it on and hear the Women Tell All. Ooh, how I love all that drama.
