Life As Three

I created the name for the website of this blog with the thought that when the baby arrives we will now be a family of four, Patrick, baby, Emma and I... However for the moment we are still life as three.  Baby has not arrived and he hasn't told me his plans for arrival so I guess only time will tell.

NEW HOUSE

So today we were given our keys to the house! Everything is final, we are now homeowners of a 3 bedroom, 1 loft house with a big backyard and garage. After collecting our keys we went to check out the house again. I began tearing out the old contact paper from the kitchen cupboards. Yesterday we finalized all of our appliance decisions ( thank goodness that is over!). Patrick began taping all of the molding so that he can start painting the living room tomorrow. After his run tonight he is going back to the house to spackle. Pictures soon to come!

***SNOW***

Winter in Vancouver, WA usually consists of continuous rain and the occasional freezing temperatures, but not today! Last night we got a beautiful coating of snow. Emma and I took a nice walk in the fresh snow at 12:30am.  During the day the sun (yes I said sun, we actually had some today!) melted the snow. Just as we left to go pick up our keys it began snowing again! Many of our neighbors built snowmen in their yards. I took a picture on my phone of one that I thought was particularly well done! He was at least 6 feet tall!
