The Shelves! The Shelves!

We got shelves to install in our bedroom *before* Baby J arrived.

After a couple of attempts to install them the resulted in no results, Uncle B came over this weekend to help us.

the shelves!

We all figured it would take a couple of hours at most...yeah right!

getting there...slowly but surely

Thank goodness for Uncle B! Two trips to the hardware store and six and half hours later, our shelves are in.

The boxes aren't unpacked yet, but we're that much closer! YAHOO!


Baby J spent most of the day supervising us from her bouncy chair!

Ooh...mail in the mailbox!

The first postcards from my foray into the world of Postcrossing have started arriving! I am going to try to upload them as they arrive and they'll all be under the label postcrossing! I think I'll make them available by country too, but we'll see how it goes!

All Through the Night!

Baby J has started doing something miraculous and wonderful! Last night marked night 6 of 7 that she has slept 7 or more hours in a row. It's so great!

She also discovered her thumb this week and I think the two go hand in hand.

We discovered she needed her nails trimmed when she pulled her thumb out of her mouth and scratched the side of her nose in four places...one for each super sharp nail! And, oh, the screams!!!


The scratches are kind of hard to see, but they're there!

Brrr....

So, daylight savings time changed today...we fell back our hour and already I've noticed a change. It might be because it's really rainy. REALLY RAINY. and dark and dreary though. And that's making me cold.

According to the thermostat, it's 22C in here, which should be nice and pleasant, but I'm cold.

And the rain just started falling really really hard which made me even colder. And then the late afternoon winter sun just came through the window...and that made me cold too. I don't like dark or cold I've decided.

I didn't win the $40 million last night, so I guess I'll just have to suck it up and not move somewhere warm and sunny.


Sigh...

Okay, so it didn't happen

Yesterday I thought I'd get the back log cleared up...HA! I just cleared up here, now I'm going over there to try and get caught up, and if there's time, maybe Baby J's place will get updated to...please Baby J, sleep for another hour...
