All Good

This weekend was lovely.

We hosted our neighboorhood watch meeting on Friday night. Every person in our neighboorhood showed up. It was lots of fun, and productive. It's very, very cool to live in a place where people care about the community. We all watch out for each other, we all keep our homes looking neat and tidy. We all know each other, know each other's children and generally care about our community. We are planning a neighborhood cleanup for early spring (which will no doubt turn into a seriously fun BBQ after!).

I am so happy that we purchased our home in this neighborhood. We are very, very happy!

Other than that, we puttered all weekend. We finished staining the dresser for Bailey's room. We played with and explored all of our baby purchases and couldn't be happier! Other than a couple of things here and there (and the one major item left - the breast pump), we are ready for Bailey when she is ready to come. We need to organize the room, get all the washable stuff washed, and figure out seating (my Mom is getting us an incredible rocker!!!!), but that is the easy stuff. Oh...and we need to hang pictures and install the ceiling fan. THEN...we are done! LOL! It's coming...

Sunday, Kelly started painting our living room. She's gotten a bee in her bonnet about getting the downstairs painted before Bailey joins us. She (rightly, I suspect) assumes that we are not going to have the time or the energy after she is born to get it done. So far, it's wonderful! She is so good at that stuff. I was going to help, but by the time I made us meals, took care of the laundry and did some other administrative stuff, I was too tired to want to paint.

The only other news to report is that we have finally moved into this century! Bundled service from our cable provider has come to our area, and we are getting digital cable, cable modem for our computer (we still use dial up...hehehe) and digital phone. It'll cost us $99 a month, but that's not bad! AND, more importantly, I'll have real access to my email and to entertainment while I'm at home with the baby!

It's all being installed on President's Day!

WAY HAPPY!
