swing of things

 yes, we are still alive!  

time has just been eaten up by getting settled in and finding a little routine. 

moms looove themselves a routine. 

i don't really think of myself as a "routine kind of mom" 

(especially compared to friends, i'm pretty chill)

 but i definitely function 100x better when there's a shape and purpose to the day. 

so i guess you could say i'm super laid back within my routine :)  

well who cares!

a routine is being found and we're the better for it.

 anyway, i don't do well with describing big changes

 like moving across the country to california 

and everything different and new (at least not on the blog), 

so i guess that's why i called this short & sweet in the first place.

 so i'll try to keep it that way by just saying we are so happy here, 

kevin is enjoying his job, working long hours,

 i love my tiny house although we live outside, 

the kids love everything and life is feeling sweet. 

 of course it's still exhausting

 (does anyone have a friend/cousin/grandma/friend's cousin's grandma around here 

who remotely likes children?) 

but that's motherhood

and i feel more in my element here than i ever did in cambridge (that's for sure), 

even though it was a great experience. 

that was a really long sentence. 

so here's to cali and hopefully catching some of it on the blog!
