Baby Bucket List Part 2

I wanted to take some time and revisit our baby bucket list...mostly for my benefit and memory. We have been very busy around the house almost every weekend and we are slowly making progress. I think we will finish this list WAY before baby arrives, which is fine with me. I want to slow down and enjoy the little time we have left as a family of two plus our puppy, Louie. Let's take a look at our progress, shall we?

See? We have several things crossed off already! A big thanks to the help of Stephen's parents. Dave worked so hard on building my closet and now that it is near complete I love it!

What do you think we should work on next? I am leaning towards moving the furniture since that will be easy...then I think we should paint something. Will it be the library or the kitchen? Time will tell!

And since my post is complete without a picture (in my mind), here is our sweet boy after getting groomed last week:

He was just snuggling with my on the couch and I was soaking up every minute of it. We sure do love him!

Have a great day!

There once was a wedding watched around the world...

Did you know today was the royal wedding of Kate Middleton and Price William? If not, you must be living under a very large rock or in the dark ages perhaps.

The hype has been being built up for months it seems and I had heard enough of it. I honestly did not think I would be interested in watching said wedding, but boy was I wrong. I am totally and completely captivated by the coverage provided by CNN and MSN. Seriously, I cannot stop looking at the pictures. Oh, and did you see the cake!?!

 Oh my!

During the hours that I have spent reading recaps and browsing pictures I have found my favorite:

Please take a look at the little girl on Kate's right. She is covering her ears because of the loud cheering happening below. I just think it is precious and such a sweet photo!

I am also loving the pictures of Kate. Her dress was so beautiful and timely. I never thought I would like a wedding dress with sleeves but hers are so elegant.

I would also like to say that I love all the hats that I have seen while looking at photos. I would love to wear some of them, but I think I might get some odd looks from people here in the US of A...I will have to think about that!

Congratulations Prince William and Kate!

On another wedding related note: I was at the nail salon getting a pedicure last night (heaven!) when I heard women talking about their plans for today. Apparently they had taken the day off work and were having a sleepover and getting up to watch all the coverage of the Royal Wedding. They planned on wearing their wedding dresses and crowns while drinking tea and eating scones. I laughed to myself at the plans of these grown women though now I wish I could have joined them. What about you-did you have any crazy or fun viewing parties?
