I’m pretty excited about progress this summer. FYI the front of the house was done summer 2007 (not counting the trim). This year we have managed (so far) to get the back of the house done (not counting the trim). On the whole I’m not overly concerned about the sides as they are virtually invisible to the street or back lane. And the trim is going to be white anyways – so mostly we are almost there!
Nathaniel turned 4 months old on May 1st and we celebrate the event by preparing and feeding him freshly mushed avocado. His first solid food. He had been grabbing plates and food off of the table in the last few weeks, so that when he was actually presented with his fist spoonful of avocado, he quickly grabbed and shoved it into his mouth and down his throat such that he ended up gagging and spluttering on his first bite…After the initial excitement he happily settled down and gummed a good portion!
After considerable time and effort over the last week we have new transportation available to us. A 2009 Toyota Sienna minivan. It’s hard for me to get my mind around the idea of being a minivan owner – but on the other hand I’ve already come to appreciate the space it presents and Lucy is going to be pleased as punch having the entire back bench all to herself!
