of being able to pack everything, of moving, and mostly, of insanity. In the last 6 nights I think there was one where I got more than 7 hours of sleep, and I've even had to enlist Jeremy's help with the last two nights. And it's not Katy. Yes, she wakes up once or twice a night normally, but Tuesday night Reilly was up for about an hour in the night, Thursday night I was up with a headache until 2 am (and Jeremy off and on with me), and last night Reilly was up from 2 am until 6 am. I do not know why. I can't blame teething like I used to. He wasn't crying. I don't get it, but we are all so tired. The headache was a doozy. I have had one other headache that stands out as possibly that bad, and it was just over 10 years ago. Yes, I remember it vividly... Thankfully through a blessing, and a hot bath (the advil hadn't touched it, but if we had had anything stronger in the house, I would have taken it!) it finally settled down and I was able to sleep. I don't know what last night was, but it had better not happen again tonight. We have too much packing to do tomorrow, and as our "family time" is limited right now, we need some positive, happy interaction over the next few days!
On a positive note, our sweet baby hit 3 months this last week! She is getting SO big, and we are so thankful that she turned out to be such a good baby! We are truly blessed, and love our sweet little Kathryn Emily.
She is excited to go home and see all her grandmas and grandpas next week, but she will miss her daddy terribly!
And here is a picture Jeremy took of me the other night (in our only remaining piece of furniture on the main floor). These poor kids are a little starved for attention with all the packing we've been having to do (and with the sleeping mommy's been doing after they get up in the mornings after these long nights). Thank heavens for Clifford, Sesame Street, Baby Einstein, the Chipmunks, and Handy Manny DVD's, all available at our wonderful local library, but these kiddos are going to have to go through TV detox when we get to AZ!

You will be so happy to be done! It is sad that Jeremy is not coming with you though. I personally can't wait until you join him in Las Vegas and are a reasonable drive away from me!
Ah I wish I could help you in some way! When you dont get sleep it can always cause severe headaches...I am sorry. I am glad everyone is feeling better. We are going to miss you guys!!

cute cute pictures I love her headband!
Katy is so cute, I love her chubs! Hopefully when you're here, you'll get some rest. If you can just make it through the next few days . . . Good luck!
I absolutely LOVE the last picture of you and the kids. So cute!!! I love the one of Jeremy and Katy too, almost made me cry though. I hope the next 7 weeks will fly by quickly with those 3 kiddos and all the Grandma & Grandpa lovin. (and all of Jeremy's crazy testing stuff!)
I am sorry you haven't been able to sleep. I am sure the stress of moving plays a part in all that. Your kids are so adorable! I love the outfit on Kathryn! :) She is such a doll. We are going to miss you guys so much. Thanks for being such amazing friends to us. Good luck with your new adventure!
Ah, you should have stayed, we could have introduced you. If you need help with kids, just let me know.
Moving is a tough, stressful time, especially when you are leaving your hubby/daddy,and you are doing great through it all! I hope you are sleeping better the last few nights and that you will get to sleep well in AZ. I wish I was there to help you the moving. I am thinking about you, and I am excited about your new adventure! YAY! I wish you the best! Your kids are so cute! Katy sure is a sweet, cute baby! I am excited to meet her some day!
