life in the crazy, fun, lovely lane

This is a post from my Wordpress blog that I made a couple of days ago, so I figured I would copy it onto this Blogspot site for anyone who missed it:

Life has been interesting lately. Mike and I have been working through the kinks of the touring life – him being gone and coming back and getting back in the swing of things… It is quite an intense road, to not have a constant ebb and flow, but to have these different glitches now and then.

However, we’re making it through pretty successfully (I think), and working towards more peaceful transitions and tweaking the not-so-peaceful moments.

Cecilia is turning into a little ham – she’s starting to play more and more with us, which is so fun and exciting to see.

She is a little over 10 months now, so planning her first birthday is very interesting – and the distracted girl that I am, I get hung up on the most amazing, crafty, inspiring blogs of these amazing moms and their kids’ birthday parties! It’s so funny.

Cecilia has recently been standing up on her own, even without us enticing her with the iPhone in her hands. Here is a picture of her the very first day we noticed her stand - we kept forcing her to hold the phone with BOTH hands so she couldn't support herself on the couch. It was so cool to see!

We also just showed her a Radio Flyer Walker, where we stood her up behind it and she pushed it! Below is the video from Auntie Furgie of the first day of her pushing the wagon:

"We must be willing to get rid of the life we planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.”

Love.
