I don't have any pictures or videos to upload. Things have been busy around our house, but I can't leave Tate the Seal up forever, so I thought I'd throw out a few odds and ends....
1. Cousin Blake was baptized today. It was a very special service, and he was absolutely precious. Read more here.
2. Tate is learning all kinds of new things and surprises us every day. He now knows his primary colors, can count to 10 in English AND Spanish, and can sing the theme song to Backyardigans. I like to think he knows the song because he's a fast learner and not because we let him watch a lot of TV...
3. We decided to try and move Tate into a toddler bed because when you are really busy and have a lot going on in your life, why not throw something like that into the middle of it? It's been a, um, learning experience.
4. Update on our house, which has been on the market: We have a contract on it, but the buyer's house has to sell first. They have had two buyers and we have had two closing dates but BOTH of the deals fell through. We may be living in FloMo forever. So as of now, we are still waiting for their house to sell. We can opt out of the contract if we want, but we are too tired to deal with it. So we wait. And no, we still don't know where we plan to move when it does sell.
5. We have very few pictures of Rob when he was a baby (long story; don't ask), but I came across this one today and did a doubletake because I thought it was Tate.
Maybe it's the hair or the profile or the crazy plaid overalls...but I love when I so clearly see the similarities between them.
6. We are heading to Oxford this weekend for Tate's first Ole Miss experience. For those who are not familiar with Ole Miss, I happened upon this blog post by a total stranger. She captures it perfectly and hilariously so I had to share.
7. Did I mention that I am busy and tired? I met with a professional mommy blogger the other day for work purposes. She said something I keep thinking about....she said, "women in the workplace are not limited by a glass ceiling but by a sticky floor." As I look at my sticky floor and my sticky toddler and my growing pile of work, I know exactly what she means. But that's OK, I'll take the sticky floor.

I'll take the sticky floor, too. I, personally, need to do a better job of staying positive and thinking positive. It's so easy to get down when you're worn out. I love that you continue to write. I admire that this is a priority for you. I want to be better.
Okay, so I love the pic of the Rob/Tate double take. Funny enough, there is a pic like that of Jeremy as a toddler that looks JUST LIKE Margaret. He's in a full snowsuit and all you can see is his little face sticking out. You'd swear it was the Margs. I wish you could get your hands on some of those overalls. Tate could totally pull those off now.
XOXO
