Custom crib bedding by Grandma arrived!





A crib organizer, crib skirt & blanket, and boppy pillow cover arrived on Wednesday. We got it all set up this morning, so that when Louis transitions to the crib (and is of course sleeping through the night) he will be sleeping in style! Thanks mom!

1st Move-In Anniversary


Much has changed over a year's time. We have battled it out with blood sucking mosquitoes, unsuccessfully fought tomato blight and tripped the previous owner's security system at a most inappropriate hour. We have also painted most of the top floor, obtained a really great old piano via Craigslist, sustained our small yet fertile garden and learned how to put up crown molding.

Over the past week, we have welcomed a new member to our family who has already changed our lives for the better. I can't wait to see how he undoes what we have worked on this past year. (He has already pissed all over the wall that his grandmother and I painstakingly painted). We love you Louis.

First Family Photo


There will be a better group photo when we are less tired. But this is the state of things right now. Thanks to our doula for the photo.

Because its cute

Bath time and more...

Yesterday was a big day for all of us. The pediatrician for Louis and the OB for Erin and Louis. We were exhausted and starving when we got home. Thankfully there was a big frozen dish of enchiladas in the freezer (thanks dad!)

A week of firsts



This home improvement blog has been hijacked by a baby. Louis went out into the world with his dad for a walk in the sling yesterday.
