Halfway

Today Jody hit the 20 week mark in her pregnancy! I took 2 more pictures of her belly progress, and I'll have to also take pictures on the 29th as that is (if you're going month by month) 5 months. Her due date, in case you aren't aware, is on the 29th of November. I can't wait to meet our Snugabye!

Dad Demolishes!

During the days of nice weather, dad got to demolishing the front flower bed. He's been wanting to take it down since I got home, but we just weren't sure how to go about it or what he wanted the finished product to look like.

It's mostly done now...but there will need to be a few things done to make it look finished. Dad did all the breaking and tearing down while I stood and watched (and took pictures), and then I carried all the bits and pieces of brick to the other yard and transported the big stones to the other garden.

Here are a few pictures of the process. I haven't taken any of the (somewhat) finished product as the weather is slightly blech right now.

And, of course, KC joined us outside in the sun while she was over for a visit. Jody and Nigel's place wasn't exactly conducive to kitty cat living at that point.

*UPDATE*

Here are two pictures I took this morning of the current state of the front planter. Mom and dad are out right now to buy plants and standing planters.

This is the shoddy "wall" to hold in the rest of the planter that we're keeping up. Until dad becomes a bricklayer or a mason, I'm not sure what's going to happen with that. I have no skills to that end...anyone have any ideas? I can't let it stay like that forever...yikes!

Jody and Nigel Moved!

Jody and Nigel are now out of their 1 bedroom apartment (where Nigel has lived for 5 years) and are in a cute little 2 bedroom basement suite that happens to be owned by Jody's boss...(and that was the longest run-on sentence in the history of my blog). They're closer to us now on this side of town, and she's been doing well taking walks to visit us. She's practicing for when she's going to have to push a stroller all the way here :)

I've, so far, only taken pictures of the practically empty suite, so I'll have to remedy that when they've fully unpacked. They've got a LOT of stuff to go through before that's done! There's much less room in this place, and much less storage...even though it is a 2 bedroom as opposed to a one bedroom. Nigel is going to work on building an outdoor storage area for their extra things that can be stored outside...so we'll see when that comes about. This weather is going to have to start cooperating first, methinks!

Here are the few shots I took on moving day.

Taken from the front door...living room and kitchen. Bedroom straight ahead is theirs and the bathroom is just behind the kitchen wall.
The bedroom on the right is baby's (they're going to have a boy...that's just my inkling..and then they won't have to paint!), and theirs is on the left.Bathroom and linen closet...obviously.

And Ducky's new home...poor boy didn't know what was going on and took to hiding in his hutch during the process.

That's all for now!
