We held a successful yard sale on Saturday with a few of our friends. One of those friends was unloading his used baby gear, so we scored a gently used
co-sleeper! We are trying to limit the amount of baby gear we're taking with us, but a free co-sleeper was too much of a deal to pass up. Just need to wash the sheet and mend a couple of holes and it will be good as new!
We got it all set up yesterday morning and wondered how long it would take our current babies to make themselves at home. It didn't take too long...
Lou and Hector on their blanket (not a cheetah-print baby sheet)We also held our Baby Naming Tournament yesterday. Nate and I made separate lists of our top 8 girl names and top 8 boy names (32 names total) to complete against each other,
NCAA basketball March Madness-style. Men's and women's names were in different brackets, and I hate to say it, but the men's bracket was much stronger than the women's; we had some real doozies in there (fortunately Nate's "Omarosa" was eliminated in the play-in round).
We had only two names overlap and they were both in the men's bracket. One of them made it to the final four and the other was eliminated in the second round.
Sorry - we're not sharing the winning names with anybody until the big day.
I can share that Nate's #1 seed won the men's division and my #3 seed was chosen as the middle name!
The women's division winner is a surprise, definitely a Cinderella story -- it came out of nowhere and toppled some powerhouse names that have been on the table since the very beginning. The winning name was inspired by my #6 seed and essentially entered the tournament unranked. We haven't selected a middle name yet.
Our room in Tara's apartment. Nate burns calories while waiting for the Bruce the Mover to show up. Note his new glasses.
The truck the moving company sent to load up our 5 cubic meters of stuff.
Bocce Ball Bon Voyage Party at the winery!
Girls' Night at Woodstock's (crashed by two boys who couldn't keep themselves away from us). Me, Tara, Nate, Eddie, Lisa and Fran.
Our super snuggle kitties the last day in their crib before moving in with my sister Becky.
About to get on the plane in San Francisco!
