happy birthday to me

Today is my last birthday as a mother of two and somehow just that tiny fact made Tippi feel a little closer to coming home. I haven’t shared much for awhile as there hasn’t been a massive amount of progress to share. Renovations continue at a decent pace and (great news!) our plumber started today, which is as much of a milestone as turning 38 is. Our electrician starts next week and our HVAC guy the week after that. Then it’s on to insulation and drywall, and finally the darn windows which are still the biggest delay in getting our home study wrapped up. We continue to contact Pella weekly and they continue to tell us the same thing (ha). Maybe this week will be different. ;)

For my birthday my mum sent me a dress and cardigan that use to be mine as a little girl. I have a beautiful tote bag from a friend where I have been storing Tippi’s treasures, but it was a bit of a squeeze to get them in so I decided today was the right day to hang her clothes with the boys’. I’ve only bought a couple of things, but I cannot begin to describe how happy it made my heart to see her tiny little sweet pink clothes hanging next to her brothers’ stuff. We love you so much, Tippi Moon! ☾
