Alex Likes Pizza

We've been ordering a lot of pizza lately... with cause. We've been working on the house, on the jobs, on the law career, on the rental house, on sleeping. Busy, busy, busy.

Alex loved his first slice of pizza. He generally loves anything that he can hold in his hands and also eat.


As we started packing up some old baby stuff, Alex saw his old play chair and was "taken back to his youth". He wanted to sit in the chair, but he barely fits anymore! Dana and I were amazed. When we first got the chair he couldn't even reach two of the three dangling animals


A couple of weeks ago I walked into the kitchen to find Alex helping himself to the contents of the fridge. To his credit, he was eating carrots from the vegetable drawer.


In other news, our beloved nanny Ryanne is engaged! (I hope I'm not spoiling anything by printing this here! Way to go Ryanne and Luke!) Fortunately for us, this doesn't change anything vis a vis Alex.

Now, turning to the house...

1. The heat is finally, completely installed upstairs. The front bedroom and bath have hot water baseboard heat. The other two bedrooms have electric baseboard. Yay.


2. Before (left) and after (right) pictures of the "breakfast nook" in the kitchen. We took off the horrendous pink wallpaper and painted a nice bright yellow. Special thanks to my man Keith for the outstanding stripping, patching and paint job. Special thanks to Susan for the excellent white paint job on the trim and cabinets! Wow! This place is really looking sharp!

Entryway, all cleaned up, with a nice wood bench instead of our trusty old plastic Walmart garden bench.


Upstairs bedroom, showcasing our new bookshelf. This is the second time it's been "done". But this time I'm serious!


Upstairs bathroom, mostly the same except for the baseboard heat.


Tidy living room
