This is a test post from flickr, a fancy photo sharing thing.

i have no idea if anyone is reading this. but ive been gone a loooong time. we moved before Thanksgiving and its been hard getting settled. Today i'd say we have just a few items to hang up, and ive got curtains to shorten and hang....and we are finished! we've got our Xmas tree up, with lights, but need more....and doug really wants Lars to participate in the decorating of the tree. SO, we are waiting until Saturday - we will get more lights and go to town. its the most beautiful tree that we've ever had! so pretty.

lars is getting his top teeth now! he doesnt seem too upset about it. the gums are swollen, and he is chewing on his hands...his toys...burp cloths...my fingers....constantly. he is sleeping 6-6 daily and starting to take decent naps on his own! he is trying very very had to crawl. he sticks his but up in the air and moves 1 millimeter at a time. ....

thats all ive got for you. im making peppermint bark tonight. merry xmas.


moving


we've been packing slowly for about a month...im about to go a little nuts, but ...at the same time... its great to be able to weed thru all the crap that you accumulate and purge! toss! cleanse! i love it... secretly.

so we move on friday. im taking a little computer break. lars was pretty good today with naps, so i got quite a lot done. but i still feel like we are swamped in crap! 

we went to the new apartment yesterday morning. it looks GREAT! the landlord painted both bedrooms the color of my choice, and Lars's room looks amazing! just what i wanted. our room, was suppose to be grey....like a dark taupey grey. but...instead its rather lavender! ek! i dont have the heart to complain. id be more upset if L's room was not right. doug and i will deal with the lavender bedroom...we will pretend like its 1986 again.

other than that, the apartment is great and we are really looking forward to the move! we are SO sick of this apartment. there are so many things wrong - things that you cant know until you spend a night here, things that cannot be changed with a little elbow grease. things that arent healthy! the new place is bright and cheery! and ...check this out...have TWO bathrooms! i cant even take it. we will miss hoboken's cute little town, but we arent far away...just a little car ride. its all worth it.
