Hello, Goodbye

Hello..... new carpet in basement! What a difference this makes. Just like our dining room light fixture that we recently updated - why didn't we do this years ago? The basement is now a nice play area for Ani. She's good at going up and down the stairs too.

Goodbye.... beautiful, shiny Guerciotti! Probably Monte's most attractive, but least ridden bicycle. I think he was sad to let this one go but does feel good with the money he got for his investment.

Hello..... new family-owned, bilingual day care for Ani! She starts March 1. It's closer to our home, less expensive than our current day care, and a very environmentally- and organic-friendly operation. They do cloth diapers and offer locally-grown food that's prepared on-site.

Goodbye.... 4-day weekends for me. Switching day cares also means a change in my work week from T,W,Th to M,W,Th in order to adhere to the school's policy of having a Mon or Fri in your schedule if your child only attends part-time.
