Moved In
We’re about 90% moved in.
Hooray!
Thank you so SO much to those that helped us move. Many hands made light work. (Except for the fridge!) Thank you to Marg, Brian, Cath, Ryan, Jon, Jeny, Nita, Tanya, and especially Ann (for the delicious chili, making the beds, letting us live with you, and way too many things to mention), Kevin (for watching and changing Liliana), and Michaela (for keeping Kaylie occupied). Also thanks to Curt & Debbie for letting us use their truck (we were very careful) and Ken & Wendy for letting us store stuff in their basement!
We still have a couple odds and ends to move or put into storage and we have to clean the house, but most of it was done in only 2 hours last night. I’ll post pictures of the new place soon, but first I have to make it look like home instead of a big pile of stuff.
On Tuesday night, in the middle of the night, I woke up swallowing knives. It got worse and worse during the day yesterday (headache, sinus pressure, nose bright red and running, swallowing bigger knives) until I was sitting in Ann’s living room at about 8:30 last night and I started to shake. Apparently it’s not a good idea to move when you’re getting/have a cold/flu. Jeny (sweet friend that she is) went out and got me drugs and vitamin water. I went to bed at 9:00 and slept quite well. Well, as well as you can when you’re sleeping on a futon instead of your queen bed and waking up to blow green snot out your nostrils.

Did you know that it’s my baby’s birthday tomorrow? Well now you do! We had a little celebration at our Widow’s Dinner on Tuesday. All three of us ladies have a child with a birthday within a week and a bit. Michaela turns 5 next week, Gavin turned 2 last week, and Liliana turns 1 tomorrow.
This is what we like to call Bum Cake. It tastes a lot better than it sounds.
Liliana and Michaela were there to blow out their candle, but Gavin had been taken home by his daddy so Michaela blew his candles out for him.
We let Liliana try out the icing. She wasn’t too sure what the stuff was and was quite dainty and gentle as she put her finger into it.
After a little taste, she dug right in and we took it away so that the rest of us could get a little icing.
Apparently she likes cake.
She liked it so much that she shared it with her hair, her clothes, and Ann’s floor. And probably some went to Buddy the dog.
I can’t believe a year has gone by already. I’m going to try to absorb as much of her babyness as I can.
Happy First Birthday Liliana :)
Hope you feel better soon Jen! We should try and do lunch again when you are feeling better.
Cute cake pictures!
Glad your (1st) move went well. Hope you are feeling better real soon!
