Spent the weekend in VA at my nephew's birthday party. It was lots of fun to see everyone (my parents were also visiting). The party was nice. He seemed to like the presents we got him, carrying around the shovel and water sprayer, using the rake on the carpet, and giving raggedy Ann and Andy big hugs and kisses/face bites. My sister really appreciated that we came. My favorite time was Sunday morning just hanging out with everyone on the deck.
He devoured his birthday cupcake.
Hanging with Uncle Denis.
I thought this was posed, but my sister said that he did walk Lucky for three houses and then pouted when she took the leash away. Fortunately the doorgie (daschshund + corgi) is baby-sized.
Since it's spring it's now time to spend even more money on the house. D. and I got some lovely deck furniture at ikea (all wood! reasonably priced! attractive!). Of course they didn't have everything we wanted in stock (why do you have only 1 of this chair, we really want 2) so we'll go back again. We also want to buy a grill and an umbrella. D. ordered a lawnmower (electric, like we live in the future) which should come this week. Plans for next weekend include seeing if the hot tub works and picking up the yard. It's spending a lot of money at once, but it's all on things we should enjoy for years to come.
Daffodils and tulips appeared in our front yard. A lovely surprise. :)
I'm in week 4 of my 6-8 week skin thing. I was going to write a long detailed post, but sufficed to say. 1. it's slowly getting better 2. I'm still really itchy 3. my skin is gross, but in slightly different ways 4. I can't wait until it's gone.
