Beach fun baby

Justin said it was a waste of money for me to buy Nora a swimming suit so we had to get a little mileage out of it! She didn't like it as well as taking a bath but at least she tolerated it for a while.

Rude Awakening

We got woken up after midnight last Thursday because it sounded like a tree fell on our house. When we walked downstairs we discovered that our dining room ceiling had collapsed and chunks of drywall and insulation were all over the floor! This was the last thing I wanted to deal with on my last few days of maternity leave but the timing is never good for this stuff. We've had it repaired and the contractor that came to fix it said that the weight of the plaster pulling down on the ceiling combined with the weight of the insulation pushing down caused the 70 year old drywall to give out. What a mess!










Summer pics

And just because I'm just now getting around to this blog, here are a few pictures from this summer:


















































No strings attached...

Nora got her harness removed on July 27th after having to wear it for 2 months straight! Trust me, if you had to change diapers and give baths around this thing for 2 months, you'd consider this a milestone, too.
