We are here!

So we, for the most part, are moved in. It was a busy 2 weeks around here. Moving our junk in and priming and painting, but the good news is that the gawdy colours are gone! YAY! I still have to finish Lindsay's room and the downstairs bathroom, but the bulk, the main stuff is done. And yes, I did put up a tree, I even have a picture of it.
Lindsay was a treat last week (sarcastic tone) she had a cold and got another tooth. This second tooth gave her more problems than the first one. She was cranky, crying and whining most of the day, and had the red circles on her cheeks, rash on her bum and lost her appetite a bit. Yes, last week was one that I would sooner rather forget. But she is back to her old self again - maybe even a little bit cuddlier. She has gotten crawling down pretty good and has figured out how to sit up and play with her toys in her crib. She will actually be occupied in there for quite some time. It's all good. She is also starting to stand up. She will pull her self up while at her piano. Oh yes - she has discovered dog food. I took my eyes off of her for a bit today and she had 2 nuggets of dog food in her mouth. She also has figured out how to carry some things around. She will put a toy in her mouth and crawl around, I think she has been watching Abe too much.
Anyways, We are good, the house is good, and it's almost Christmas. I have been bestowed the task of making Trifle, I got the recipe right from the master so hopefully it will turn out good. (Don't tell Nan, but I got Del Monte peaches instead of Aylmer...)


So MERRY CHRISTMAS to y'all

SEE! I told you all that I would put up a tree

Krista and Janne and Lindsay!

THE DAY IS ALMOST HERE!

So the day is almost here. Three days to be exact until our house is officially ours. Then we get our junk moved in and let the painting begin. I have most of the paint ready, I just have to get some for the downstairs bathroom and for the upstairs hallway. It is exciting, but in a way I'm going to miss this tiny house. I think I may get lost in the new house with all the room.

Lindsay will be 8 months old on Tuesday and this week she has made a major commitment and has decided to start to crawl. She is just so busy. She goes all the time, no wonder I'm tired, I can hardly wait for her naps! I think she is going to continue to be very active for the next few years. But she is very happy. She loves the animals. Abe is very good with her. He shares his stuffed Santa with her and they go back and forth with it. The cat will lay beside her in our bed when she is down for her long nap. This week she woke up to find the cat beside her and stuck her hand out and was petting the cat

(read: grabbing the poor kitty). But Puddin' took it all in stride - she even let Lindsay suck on the end of her tail - Yuck!

Christmas is only 4 weeks and some away. We are actually putting up a tree this year and I bought some balls for it, so, so far our tree has lights (it's pre-lit) and will have 12 balls on it. I guess the Christmas tree isn't so much of a priority this year. I'll buy decorations after Christmas when everything goes on sale.

We probably won't get out for a wal today, the weather is getting to be a little like winter out there. Right now it is rain/snow - very pleasant. Looks more like snow I can see it on the roof of the garage. And the wind is a blowin'.

The next time I write we will be moved into the new digs. I will have some pictures then.
