Nesting 2.0

We received some gifts for the nursery in the mail, and this weekend, finally found time to decorate a little bit.

We got these cute valances:

Dust ruffle and crib sheet:

But best of all, this super-sweet tree decal:

The room is starting to feel much cozier! We like to walk by it just to peek in. Only 8 or so more weeks until there's a little one to peek in on!

No Foolin'

Mother Nature played the best April Fool's Day joke this year, only it wasn't a joke. After a week with temps reaching 50 degrees, we had a cruel reminder of how long winter can last in Maine. While Stacy enjoyed the day off, Eric had to come home to an unplowed driveway. (Maybe firing our plow guy in March wasn't such a good idea!) Because the bank was so high at the end of the driveway, Eric got stuck. The Red Sox were on (opening day!) and we had no where to go, so he left it there for the night. The next morning we woke up to this:

Fortunately, we have a kind, albeit bizarre, neighbor, and when he saw Eric shoveling out, he drove right over on his tractor with snowblower attachment and took care of it for us. Let's hope this was the last major storm of the season!
