Work Hard/Play Hard

After long last, the room is finally done.  The carpet was the last major piece to completion and boy, is it nice.  We haven't moved Annie in yet but we are slowly adding toys and other Annie objects to the room and has she been napping in her swing up there under the skylights.  She is finally sleeping in her crib in the other room so at some point, we'll move the crib on upstairs.  We had a rough couple of nights getting used to the crib but since then, she has been making it through the night.  So life is good. 

School's out for summer and that feels pretty good.  Annie's going to take her first river float on the Sandy for Father's Day this Sunday.  She tried out the pool for the first time last week in Sunriver with her cousin Otto.  She was indifferent.  Her bathing suit was mighty cute though.

We do have enrolled in swim lessons for a couple of weeks and that should be pretty fun.  I'm sure it will involve a lot of splashing and singing and not much swimming.  She will be a lot of fun this summer, that's for sure.  She's totally sitting up on her own but not crawling yet.  She rolls from belly to back pretty quickly and doesn't often play in that position for long periods of time so she might be slow on that one.  I mean, it's pretty nice to be able to plop her down in the middle of the room and go into the other room knowing she won't go anywhere. 

We've had our first peas, strawberries and beets from the garden the past couple of weeks.  It was so nice in May, all the plants did really well.  It's been cooler lately but it's usually a few more weeks before summer gets into full swing.

Hannah and Ian decided to stay in Portland!  They got an apartment and will be moving out next week already.  It's been awesome having them stay with us, it will actually be kind of weird not having them around.  And we'll have to do all our own dishes again.  They'll just have to come over for dinner often and do our dishes then ; )
