I did get into town yesterday and got all of the groceries I need to cook. I did not get the cooking done today. We did get the freezer moved. So tomorrow I’ll cook. I started, but Greg got home early from work - big surprise for me - and brought me all kinds of distracting things. A beautiful, red, metal star wall hanging with berries in it, a new lampshade for the yard sale lamp I just covered in sisal rope, and a bouquet of white tulips. I think he likes me, but don’t tell him I told you!
We are giving our doggie away. Annie is sweet, but she’s more than we can handle right now. The couple taking her live in Nackawic, and they seem so nice. We would like to get another dog, but it’s hard to know how to find the right one. Anyway, we’ll miss her, but knowing she’s going to get better attention (middle-aged couple with high school and college aged children) than we can give her at the moment is a relief. We may try to get a pup in the summer, but will definitely research a LOT before making a decision.

The kids are so enjoying romping outside these past few days. The ice broke away and disappeared in one fell swoop yesterday afternoon. Today we’ve watched as large sheets and mounds of ice and slush made their way past our house. It really does feel like spring now.

And I conquered our bedroom today. Still a few things in there to be moved, but it’s clean and tidy. That was a big deal, because we need to get the cradle moved and set up in there. Baby will likely mostly sleep with us, but when having a nap, I feel more comfortable knowing there are sides to protect him/her from falling out.

And last but not least, we think we have a name, although just for a girl. Nothing solid for a boy yet. But Greg is so convinced it’s another girl, I don’t think he feels the need to consider boys’ names. Time will obviously tell. And until Baby makes an appearance, don’t bother asking. We don’t tell until after Baby is born. It’s nothing personal, just less complicated.
