Ever since we got back from Texas it seems as if we've been going a hundred miles an hour trying to catch back up.  It's crazy to think that was nearly two months ago(by the way,  that's when I totally kickedwonderwomna 's trash at ski jumping).  Don't get me wrong, things have been great.  It just has felt like trying to get all the plates spinning again.  I think we are finally getting back in the flow of things.  For me anyway.  It's probably  just been work that's made it feel crazy.  We have been just crazy busy trying to get all our projects done on time.  All the completion dates have been right on top of each other.  It's hard to imagine that we are going to be really slow come March.  With this past craziness it has been nice to have hadbretybreterson  start working for us.  It will be tricky to keep us all busy soon, but I don't know if I would have made it without his help these past few weeks.  
The "young prince" Maxwell has really started taking off learning sign language.  He'd come up to me signing "boat" and I would just sit there and wonder "how on earth did you learn that? and why?"  I think it is pretty cool.  I was a bit skeptical at first, but it blows me away how well we can communicate already.  he's gotten the hang of speaking a few words like "dada", "moma", "an-ma"(grandma), and "itty"(kitty).  One of the funniest things is when he wanders around the house pointing with all of his fingers and making explody/shocky sounds as he gestures at something.  Very Dark Lord-ish,
