Easy Breezy

Well, I am living the life. Dill and Baker left for North Carolina yesterday so I just have Mary Rowe this week. I am not sure there is anything easier or more pleasant than just having one 3 1/2 year old child. We have had a blast. Our toenails are painted, we've shopped, dined, swam, played games, worked puzzles, gone on walks. Heaven. Baker is having just as much fun hanging out with Daddy and the Dill's so everyone is happy. Yesterday they came and ripped out the deck. Today, they took down the tree and tomorrow I think they start to build. Very excited about that. I spent 3 hours at Babies R Us yesterday getting all things baby. Diapers, swing, onesies, a bassinet, bottles, pacies, shampoo, a tub, Baby Bjorn etc. So fun. Mary Rowe used all of Baker's stuff, but sharing a third time was too gross, except for the crib. Now I am really excited about the baby, it is really real now. Then Mary Rowe and I hit target today to get all the necissary travel toilletries to put in my hospital bag and came home and packed. I have that baby coming home in a precious gown and light blue hat. Tomorrow I go to sign Baker up for Kindergarten. I cannot believe he is old enough to go. I am heartbroken! I hope he is ready. I am sure he is much more ready than I am. At least all of his friends will be there and he can hardly wait to ride the bus each day. So big boy. Dill is trying to figure out if he is going to India this weekend. He did not realize that he needed a temporary Visa to go so he just filed for an expedited one on Monday so we don't know if he will get it in time. Luc, I love the drapes as well. Any drapes in raw silk are right up my alley. Great job. I wish you were here to get me motivated to get my sewing machine out to recover the bumper for my porta crib and do a couple of baby pillows etc. I need the sweat shop to be in full force! Chicken hash sounds good. Seems like it may be even better if you shredded the chicken. Thanks for the recipe. It is rainy and cold here, not snowing like Chicago, but pretty bad. Love to all.
