@Meghan H – good luck with moving and listing the house! It is a lot. But eventually you will be on the other side. Just try to enjoy what you can!

It’s overwhelming with two little kids, but this is such a good reminder that life is good and this move is a choice we’re deliberating making, not some trial to endure. Like you, I’m going to remember to try to stay upright and enjoy the process!

@Megan – thanks! Yep, not all but much. It’s good to choose a full and occasionally chaotic life.

@Maggie – yep, little people are exhausting but wonderful. At least I got some time to relax outside during my 2-year-old’s nap today!

@Jenn N – thank you! It all is very exciting, and I am trying to notice and enjoy it. (The hammock has been an excellent addition to my life this summer!)

You swinging in the hammock made me smile. Exciting times for you and those of us who love your books!

All the best with the final stages of this exciting process!
