The Chatman Family

We are all coming down from the highs of the Christmas holiday...it's been pretty relaxing and peaceful here the past few days. And that has been very...nice. Bryan hasn't had to work since Christmas Eve, and although he might go in to move some snow today, it won't take all day (hopefully!) and Abby and I will either work and play around the house or take in a trip to Target (thanks for all the gift cards!).

It feels like we've been building up to the holidays, the trip to Florida, and Christmas for so long that now that it's over, it's kind of a relief. There's a LOT of work to do, though, and it's hard to know where to start. We're re-arranging rooms, de-cluttering, and getting ready for the baby girl who's coming in just a few months! I've got lists and lists of things to do, things we need or want, and so much stuff already here that I just want to get rid of!

I know that the days and weeks are flying by, so I don't want to get used to this relaxed pace we've kept the last couple of days, but it sure has been nice while it lasted. We're gaining about a minute of daylight each day now - it increases a little everyday - so Spring is on it's way! Okay, it's still a long way off, but it's a motivating factor, so I've got to make the most of it.
