The Sweet Life

Can I have three cheers for anyone that’s ever moved with kids?

Seriously. Our last move was a breeze (for me). I was six months pregnant at the time, and the day of the move just happened to be the same day as our first birthing class. So I said “Toodles!” and waddled off to class. When I came home, it was to the new house.

The next day I headed off to work, and by the time I came home the bulk of the unpacking was finished (I love my OCD husband at times like this). Yes, it was hand-to-the-forehead rough (or…notsomuch).

However…fast forward five years and there was no class to escape to. No work place to head off to. And no pregnancy to point to and whine about how tired I was.

It was me. My husband. Two kids. And a you-know-what load of boxes.

We did it! We survived! My hubby and I aren’t currently speaking to each other, but besides that, we’re completely thrilled with our new digs.

And my new digs are Sugar’s new digs!

Which means that soon we’ll have our fancy new ordering room all set up and ready to go. Attached to that is my office (have I mentioned that I no longer have to share an office with my self employed wine broker of a husband? he is also a BIG fan of perfectly centered photographs with no tilting, artistic touches or fun expressions. Editing with his input has been an adventure, but he’s given his last bit of constructive criticism and the room is mine! All mine!), and we’ll have an official framing corner this time around as well!

Big steps for little Sugar!

They tell me I’ll have internet access in my little office sometime this weekend (for the record, it was supposed to have been last Monday…but who’s counting?). Once that’s up and running, I’ll be right back in the swing of things!

Thanks all for your endless patience as we’ve transitioned to big-time land (not just in location, but we’ve got some big stuff in the works).

Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas’ NICU ad campaign:
Did anyone catch the Dallas Morning News ad on Sunday? Or Thursday? It ran Sunday (4/15) and then 4/22, 4/26/ and 5/6 ( it will only be in the Central and East editions). It will also appear in the Park Cities News – 4/12, Dallas Child Health Issue – September and People Newspapers – 10/25 – Audrey is a star! Her billboard goes up in June, and her radio ad should already be running (Not that I had anything to do with her radio ad-but it is absolutely precious!)
