No Pictures :-(

Well to say Reese has been a handful lately would be an understatement. Last week she was pretty fussy with the teething, but NOTHING compared to her demeanor the past 4 or 5 days! We went to Halifax to see the Canadian Figure Skating Championships with my mom and between the teething and the fact that her routine was interrupted and in a new place, she turned into a devil-child. She decided she was no longer interested in naps nor sleeping through the night. The only way I could get her to sleep was by nursing her. So unfortunately I have no pictures from the skating because Reese really didn't allow me to sit and watch the skating while she was with me. Thank God for a friend of my Mom's daughter and my brother-in-law Pete who watched her for me in the evenings. So I did manage to enjoy some of the skating, and I must say it was fabulous!

Since we've been home she's still not back to herself. I can clearly see her other bottom tooth ready to cut through, so I'm pretty confident that's the issue. But what a challenge to get her back to her napping schedule. I've had to give up and let her cry which we've really never had to do before. She's managing to get short naps, but nothing compared to what she usually gets. Last night she finally slept through the night again and this morning went down for a nap with relatively little fuss. She's been asleep for over an hour now, so I'm praying that she's finally settling back into her old routine! Keep yer fingers crossed!

Also on my plate is our new house.....yep, we're selling our house and buying a new one! We were very spatially (is that a word?) challenged over Christmas and I caught the real-estate bug. So just like that, we found a bigger house in the same subdivision that we just love and suits our needs. So Mark took charge of selling our house privately and it sold within 6 days. We're still in the process of finallizing the details, but it looks like things should wrap up by the end of the day and we'll be moving in April or May. Quite a lot of stress, but I'm sure it will be well worth it in the end!

And finally, Cash has given us a bit of a scare lately. He's had a limp that's gotten worse and worse over the past few months and has really gotten bad the past week or two. So we've been carting him to different vets getting Xrays and second opinions and no one seems to be able to find a darn thing wrong with him. He's 9 now, so you worry when they get to be that old. There may be a touch of arthritis in one of his shoulders but nothing that appears to be life threatening:-) I'm chalking it up to a combination of old age and a bit of stress caused by you-know-who.

So yes, it's been a bit hectic lately and that's my excuse for no pictures! Things should settle here shortly and I promise to get snap-happy again and post more pictures of the babe and our new house!

If I was not so lazy I would take some of the pics I took in Halifax and send them to you. Maybe later.

Sounds like you have been busy, road trips, skating and a new home!! I thought stay-at-home moms watched soap operas all day and baked cookies?

Poor little Reese, hopefully she will feel better soon.

Congrats on the new home! I'm so happy you will be closer to us.
