Swamped

Ahhh... it's fun going absolutely crazy with the amount of work that needs to be done around the house. Our bedroom furniture is finally in (pictures soon). I was totally not prepared for how gigantic a king size bed-set is. It dwarfs just about everything else in the room. There isn't any room for our old 27" TV. So now I am trying to see if I can find a cheap flat-panel TV to mount on the wall. The idea is to get something that will be reasonably good, without the name-brand price attached to it.

The nursery is also coming along. It's funny how when we were planning for Priya, no money decision was really questioned (the luxury of two incomes). Now we have to think about whether we even need a second crib, or a rocking chair or whatever. So either the second-born is shortchanged (conventional wisdom), or the first-born gets unusually more (probably more the case).

Priya was quite bewildered with all the changes going around in the house - especially with the rooms torn apart. But she has kept up her good spirits.

i thought the fact that addy was counting made her smart. now that i see that the rocket scientists daughter is also counting i know she's not smart... she's BRILLIANT! Wow, our kids are genius'.

Connor was 14 months, she is 13 months now, so not too far apart. She is a lot more dearing tho!!

I know what you mean about the 2nd born...luckily they don't even know, and isn't a reflection of our love.

I can't believe I didn't meet you and your sweet family! I told Michelle that I wanted to meet you guys. Oh well, Thern and I and Weston will be there again someday so maybe then. You daughter is so pretty. Congrats on number two! What a blessing!

Julia loved the video of Priya counting when it was over she said "more Lisa, more baby". Nice.

Ah.....this baby will prob be 'short changed' too. There won't be much new equipment...and most of it wasn't new in the first place! I do need another pram though....although have my eye on one on ebay so even that might not be new :)

I expect to some pictures of the final remodeling, especially the work that my miter saw is doing.
