There IS light at the end of the tunnel!

These past two months have cruised by with our family keeping insanely busy. If I didn't have a list for everything, I might just cease to function. So the easiest way to do this is, of course, a list:
MAYZIE GIRL:
-Mayzie will be 11 months March 6
-is a sweet little demon, terrorizing the house, as you can see from several photos below.
-is FINALLY getting teeth (two on bottom, two coming in on top)
-loves to talk, sing, squeal, explore, crawl, cruise on furniture, pull and play with mom's hair (obsessively)
-doesn't like to nap, sit still, cuddle, wear socks, shoes, or anything on her head, or be told she can't eat nasty things like
the bottom of our shoes, the door mat, or the toilet brush.
ZAC THE LEGO MANIAC:
-Has had it up to HERE with school, but is almost done--graduation is April 16!!!
-Is doing Daddy Daycare right now while I'm teaching and is doing a great job. He has a new appreciation for what moms do (or more appropriately DON'T get done during the day)
-Is looking for jobs, preferably closer to home, although we are flying to Texas to interview at the end of March.
-Is making an exceptionally long and highly hypothetical "Wish List" of all the things he wants to get when he graduates and
gets a job.
NICKLEBERRY FINN
-Loves teaching, but hates that all her time is consumed. Can't wait to have more time with Mayzie. She'll finish the school
year in June and then...come what may!
-Loves to coupon to the point of minor obsession.
-Can't wait to go on A CRUISE in April when Zac graduates! It is literally the thing keeping her sane right now.
-Hasn't had time to read a book in ages. Tragic.
-Is becoming a slightly better cook thanks to Food Network and Top Chef.

ALL:
-We can't wait for it to warm up (yes, it has been in the 30's here for the past two months!) and enjoy the beach before we leave.
-Don't know exactly what's in store in about four months, but we're soooo excited for a change!

Yay! I'm SO proud of you guys! You are almost there. Hang in there, you are going to make it.

I remember those days like yesterday. Funny how some things just stay with you. It sounds like you guys are doing well and it is so fun planning for the future isn't it? We really hope that you will be close by so that we can see you once in a while. Your mayzie is a doll.
