Passing time

Do you ever feel like you are stuck on cruise control, fast-forwarding through life? I can't tell you where the time goes but it seems to be whizzing by quickly these days.  Days at work are a blur. Nights are filled with some Kenley time, making dinner, and cleaning up. This cycle is repeated 5 times and then the short fleeting weekends come and go in a blink. I am scared to say, I'm not sure life ever slows, so when I have a few minutes I have been enjoying them. Maybe some extra cuddles with Kenley or some quality time with the husband. A quick second on the computer and then off to bed. Blogging has been on the "To Do" list but seems to get back burner-ed. I hope someone still reads even though my posts sometimes go missing in the passing time.

In a nutshell, life has been good. Maybe a bit busy as described above but overall I am content.  Clay and I have been working on getting the house ready for the market.  It's scary and exciting all mixed in one big bowl. I know we will love the new house when it is built and lord knows we need the space, but part of me will always miss the first real home we made when we brought home our baby girl. The first place we put blood, sweat, and tears (and definitely some money) to fix up and add our personality to. While looking forward to doing the same with the new house and making it the home Kenley grows up in, it's just a bit bittersweet.

Anyways, this past weekend we had my folks come and stay with Kenley so Clay and I could attack cleaning and organizing the last room. It was the worst so of course I put it off until the end. The closet was beyond the "Monica closet" from Friends. Maybe you know what I'm talking about but maybe you don't. However I am sure you've all had that closet you are afraid to open. Well, it no longer exists at the Hotel Brockman. It now looks like this:

So I now consider the house cleaned, organized, and almost ready to show on the market. We do have a little bit of that "no fun" cleaning to do. I have to hit the ceiling fan in the kitchen and Clay will be on cobweb duty. I tried to tell him to just use the broom but he insisted you have to use a duster so this weekend I got him a gift. 

Now he is ready to get to work. The handle even extends so he will be able to use it at the new house with the taller ceilings ;o) I had a plan!

Now I know most of you don't read this blog for our updates but prefer to see adorable pictures of Kenley, so I promise I won't disappoint. This past weekend we tried something new for her. We gave her a "piggy" and boy was it C-U-T-E!!!

and the poor girl just can't stop me from putting things on her head for a laugh and taking pictures. This one got me good and made me think of those hats I picture for Holland to go with wooden shoes. Maybe I'm crazy but it's still funny to me.

We are working trying to get Kenley to eat more table food (other than shells and cheese which she can't get enough of) and drink more whole milk from her cup so that I can cut out the bottles. Definitely seems to be a harder transition on me since I always worry she isn't eating or drinking enough but I'm working on it too.
So there you go. That's how the Brockmans have been passing the time. Hope all is well on your side of the screen too. More to come later!!!
