Our "garden"

Despite our complete neglect, some flowers are blooming in our backyard:

New bedroom

We rearranged the bedroom to fit the bassinet, below is the result:

I have the awesomest friends...

Some wonderful friends got together to get Jeff, Anna and I a Chariot to keep us outdoors once she is born. Check out Vik's bike blog for details and pictures. Thanks guys, I am planning on putting a lot of mileage on the Cougar!

My daughter gets all the cool stuff now...

Thanks Michelle - the booties and hat are adorable. Now if only she would come out so I can put them on her!

Pasta gone wrong...

We discovered why wheat pasta is much more appetizing than brown rice pasta the other night...

Shelves make Jeff a happy man

The nesting continued this weekend and Jeff put up shelves in the kitchen (now we have an alter to the small appliance God) and in the basement, for storage. Now we can clear out the miscellaneous stuff in the office and make room for Anna's stuff.

BACON

Our continuing celebration of Jeff's birthday brought us to Bacon. Food was awesome!

Some bacon themed gifts from his family.

Perogies and kubassa.

The Ukranian (lazy cabbage rolls with perogies and brown rice).

Poutine with yams, miso gravy and feta.

And dessert afterwards at Kristi's - Angel food cake with strawberries,

whipped cream and drizzled chocolate.

The tropic invasion

Beautiful flowers I got for Jeff at Eden Lily.

Happy 34th!
