January DTC Secret Pal - March gift is here!


Today we received our March secret pal gift from the January2005DTC group! This month's theme is children's books and we received the Baby Einstein "Cats" board book, Boynton's "Hey! Wake Up!" board book and "Favorite Fairy Tales and Fables". The fairy tale/fable book has all the classic bedtime stories that I remember from my childhood, plus a few I've never heard of! It's really cool! Thank you secret pal!!

The Nursery


We are making slow progress on the Nursery compared to most of the folks I've met. We did finally get our act together enough to at least get a crib and some bedding. The walls in the room were already painted yellow in anticipation of it becoming the baby's room, so we didn't need to do any painting. I do sometimes think about the possibility of adding a mural, though (big dreams for someone who has done so little decorating!!)

January DTC Secret Pal


The January2006DTC Yahoo! group is having a secret pal swap. Today we received the first gift from my secret pal -- the theme was "Happy New Year of the Dog" and we received a fluffy Amy Coe stuffed dog, a Peter Rabbit board book and a beautiful handmade card with Nora's name on it. Thank you secret pal for the terrific gift and for making such a special, personal card!
