The Boy in the Bubble

A busy week to report on but today's news is going to take priority over our typical recap. Bright and early this morning (okay, 8:30) we all went off to Marcy's doctor to see if Lily's dream of a baby brother was going to come true. And lo' and behold, Lil called it right from the beginning! The next addition to the family will be a little boy - arriving during the first week of December.

With that out of the way, on to the week in review. Lily had a good week at school and is now starting to talk about school all the time. She wanted to go Saturday morning when she woke up!

We have been busy working on the house and getting things into shape. Thanks to some handy man help we have new railings up on all the stairs. The boxes are finally receding and the clothes and toys are all getting put away. A little more painting and cleaning and we will be all set.

On Satruday we headed up to WIlmington so that LIly could have a play date with pal and Ian and so we could catch up with some school friends. Lily had a great time and she and Ian ran each other ragged.

Sunday was more work around the house and nice dinner with Grandma Phyllis and Grandpa Maurice who were recently back from vacation.

On to the pictures ...
