Theoretically on Friday.. I should have the keys to my (and SweetPea's) new home. SweetPea doesn't get to do too much in it for a few weeks (she gets to stay at grandma's) while the rest of us (or just Colleen and I) go to rip out carpets in the downstairs bedroom, linoleum from the kitchen/pantry room and then install wood flooring, refrigerator and a stove/oven. I don't anticipate we will be living in it before sometime in January.

It is getting exciting to have my own home again! I think I need to go into the skunk removal business. They allowed $350 for the cost of the skunk removal. I am sure there is a hazmat suit which will repel any Pepe' le Phew smell...

Finally got SOME Christmas shopping done Monday. I think I only have a few odds and ends left. Wrapping tonight.

SweetPea had a midwife's appointment yesterday and now we do not have to see her for 2-3 months. She gained a little over a pound in 3 weeks time. Other than some minor baby acne, she is good and healthy.
