Finals Week

For those of you who may not be in college, lol, this week is finals week. We're looking forward to Shawn having about a week and a half off. Hopefully we can finish some projects around the house before he has to go back to work! Missy Em is very busy looking at things, teething, and putting lots of things in her mouth. I, as always, am doing laundry.

More pictures should be coming soon--we've been having some technical difficulties. :)

I turned over today!

I'm 17 Weeks Old Today!

Good morning!

I woke up very happy this morning--cooing at the bunnies on my mobile. I'm 17 weeks old today and officially 4 months old tomorrow. I might go get my pictures taken today.

Vancouver house = new minivan

2005 Dodge Grand Caravan

We decided to become one of "those people" and get a minivan. While reluctant at first, we now see the wisdom in a van when you have a baby! Makes things much more convenient--like opening the side door with the push of a button! No more getting the keys out to unlock the driver's side door, unlock the rest of the doors while baby's carseat is on the ground, picking up said carseat and then putting the carseat in the base. NO MORE! Emma's still deciding whether she wants to sit behind mommy or kitty corner. She's going to let us know as soon as she's done chewing on her thumb.

Bye Bye Vancouver

Today is the first day we no longer own a home in Vancouver! After 8 days on the market we had an offer and yesterday we officially closed. It's very strange to be in our second home--even stranger that we're back in tiny college land. We're still trying to get settled. Emma's room has been painted (pink of course) and hopefully this weekend we'll get to her ducky bathroom (fabulous DeVine Full O'Beans shade). Between that and taxes we're a bit busy....:)

We're back from spring break! Shawn worked for Ameriflight and I hung out with Baby Em. All the cats are glad we're back, as are the dogs who didn't like staying outside in the rain!

On to spring break

For the first time in 4 years, Shawn and I are going to have spring break again. Although technically I'm permanently on break, lol. Shawn's turning the big 28 in less than two weeks. Emma finally figured out what she wanted to get him for his birthday, so that's on its way here for us to wrap. Internet shopping is the best!
