Random Updates

This weekend was pretty low-key comparatively, but we had some excitements.  The first, and biggest for JR and I, we had our first night with a babysitter!!!  What you take for granted when you have sitters around.  We just went out for dinner but hey, its been almost 4 months of always being with our kids--everyone deserves a break now and again.

The second is that I cut about 4 inches off of Nora's hair--how can I tell you and not have pictures--sorry!  I will try tomorrow.  She is definitely at the age of drama, tantrums and not agreeing to pictures if it is not in her agenda.  It is just below her ears now (the way I like it).

This weekend was also a turning point in settling in because Nora had a play date today.  We found out that the girl at daycare and in the 4 year old preschool class at her school (Nora is in the 3yr old class) lives one block over.  She turned four last fall, so it is a perfect match.  Its just one more thing for Nora to feel more settled.

And last but not least, we have put Sunny (Nora's beta fish) on hospice.  Sunny has been a good fish with all of the ups and downs of moving, but we feel that he is on his last legs.  He still does eat and move around, but the last few days he mostly hangs out on the bottom of the tank.  The water did get pretty bad in the last week, so we changed it this weekend and have fed him extra, but I think we are still on shaky ground.  Everyone is aware that he is not doing to good, even a 4 year old knows something is up when he won't move until you flick his tank about 8 times.  :)
