Still chugging along

It has been 21 days since my last post, so I figure I had better get on it before my cousin in China yells at me. By the way, Emily, congrats on your own new daughter. You have been a warm and compassionate person your entire life and I am certain that you are an amazing mother!

Now on to our own update. We have been in our house for a little over a month now. We got everything moved out of our old apartment and into the house by December 20th. In the midst of our moving, we managed to get the bathroom redone, most of the walls in the first floor painted, and new carpet installed. We are currently restoring the wood floors in two of our rooms (one will be the nursery), and we will be getting some electrical work done as well. In the midst of making cosmetic improvements we have stumbled across some things that needed to be fixed, but on the whole we have been fortunate to have a house that has been relatively easy to convert into something that feels a little more like our own every day.

Erin is doing well. With 10 weeks to go in her pregnancy we feel like the time will both fly by quickly and drag on slowly simultaneously. She is very healthy and everything continues to go smoothly with the pregnancy. We still haven't completely settled on a name for the child yet and we still have various nursery things to collect, but I think we will manage to pull it together by the time the small person gets here.

What more can I say? Everything is well and with a little luck we can have most of our house updates/repairs done by the end of the year. Sorry this isn't a long update, but life has been moving along far too fast to think about much else.
