Week 61

Eric took his days off to hang some new low voltage lighting in our loft. It was almost impossible to lay on the couch and read a book in our front room... but no more. We now have lots of light. Its wonderful. Doesn't it look like an art studio in here now? He did a great job.
 
We started our quest to find a stroller for baby Werth. We know what we want but what we want is very pricey so we set out to find a used one on craigslist. We found the exact stroller today and called and were 20 minutes too late. Rats. There were only 5 of those strollers posted on craigslist in the month of November. We are hoping time is on our side with this one. For those of you who have strollers, do you like what you have? Would you mind sharing the pros and cons?

Since it is Thanksgiving weekend, we've thought a lot about those things we have to be thankful for. Our list isn't long but it sums up where our heads are right now.

Our health. So grateful to be healthy. Enough said.
Our jobs. As much as it drives me crazy at times, we know we are lucky to be employed. We still don't know what I will do when baby comes but we are grateful to have this time to save, save, save for the future.
Our families - for their excitement and support of our lives
Our relationship. We seriously love being around each other. We make each other laugh and never get tired of just hanging out together. We feel so blessed.

We are both off in separate traveling directions tomorrow until Thursday... Have a good week everyone!

I really like our stroller. It's a Graco. We got it at Babies R Us. It pushes nice and I like the pattern of the fabric. The basket is also a good one. The only draw back is that it doesn't fold up as flat as my other Gracos have. Make sure you get on Babies R Us' mailing list. They send out 20% off coupons quite often. We used it on ours and it took $50 off the price of it. When you are buying everything, which we almost did this time, those coupons come in really handy.

we've had a different strollers for each of our 3 kids...

Graco for the Boy, a double seat Graco for the Girl (the double seat one was a waste), and a Eddie Bauer for the Spare Boy.

The EB Stroller folds up nice. I'm a fan of a stroller that folds up flat into a small space.

The Graco's (especially the double Graco) was a pain in the butt getting in and out of the car.

I have cheap umbrella stroller that works good for me. I'm not sure if the spare boy likes it all that much...

Oh, I love you and EW's loft. Very nice.
