We've been in the new house for over a month now, and things are finally calming down. We've maninly been working on the basement, and it's finally done. Before and after shots are here http://www.carlarsenic.com/house/basement.html
but it's not decorated yet. The house has been tons of work, and Calle has strep (sp?) throat now because of it. Overall we're really enjoying the extra space and the quiet street. The neighbours are great and one of them even brought us brownies on the first night.

Leif met Santa 2 days ago.http://www.carlarsenic.com/leif/Leifxmas.jpg
He's cruising all over the place now, and crawling like a pro. He's getting his 3rd tooth, so he's been a little cranky lately.

So it looks like we have sold our house since we've accepted an offer at $2000 below our asking price. Calle and I are celebrating with fake champagne, even though he is out playing hockey right now. I'm excited.
I think we will be very happy there. That's it for the big things in my life. Got married. bought a house, had a baby, bought a bigger house. Now it's time to relax.

What kind of people look at a house 4 times and don't make any indication of placing an offer??!! First she sees it, then she brings her husband, the they bring BOTH sets of parents, then they bring their BROTHERS-IN-LAW. And they know we have a baby, and it's a huge incovenience to leave the house, yet they request that the owners not be home. Plus weird stuff was moved around when we got home. A pillow was on the floor, and a blanket was moved. wtf????
I'm so stressed about this whole thing.
Plus there was another accident in front of our house this morning.
I feel like crying.

We bought Leif an exersaucer last night. We went to BAbies R us, and they only had 3 left! weird. So we bought the Everflo megasaucer for $99, but they ended up giving us he Ultrasaucer by mistake which was $139. That was cool. It's so elaborate. Leif seems to like it. He was so hyper on it, I think it was information overload for him. Basically he wanted to eat every part.
Other than that, he's not sitting up yet, but he trying to crawl. He can go on his knees now, but he usually topples over. He can also stand when holding onto the side of the crib rail for about 30 seconds.

I am desperately looking for a house. I'm certain the people across the street are drug dealers, and I HATE it.

Leif just started eating a bit of solids and his poo STINKS. I'm so glad I breastfed all these months. His poo didn't used to stink at all.

I want to move to the country really badly. It probably won't happen til next year at the earliest, but I'm obsessed with looking at houses. I need to stop because it's pissing Calle off.

Jul. 6th, 2004 @ 11:22 pm I'm surprised this worked for Ontario

1. Go to Google (or Yahoo) and type, "You know you're from (your state) when . . . "
2. Cut and paste the list
3. Bold the items that apply to you.


You know you're from Ontario when........

1. Your idea of a traffic jam is ten cars waiting to pass a tractor on the highway.
2. "Vacation" means going to Barrie
3. You measure distance in hours.
4. You know several people who have hit deer more than once.
5. You often switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day.
6. You use a down comforter in the summer.
7. Your grandparents drive at 65 mph through 13 feet of snow during a raging blizzard, without flinching.
8. You see people wearing hunting clothes at social events.
9. You install security lights on your house and garage and leave both doors unlocked.
10. You think of major food groups as deer meat, fish and berries.
11. You carry jumper cables in your car and your girlfriend knows how to use them.
12. There are 7 empty cars running in the parking lot of Canadian Tire at any given time.
13. You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit
. (ALWAYS)
14. Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow.
15. You think lingerie is tube socks and flannel pajamas.
16. You know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter, construction
.
17. It takes you 3 hours to go to the store for one item even when you are in a rush because you have to stop and talk to everyone in town.
18. You actually understand these jokes and forward them to all your friends from Ontario living in New York.

That link probably won't work, but it's a house I'm liking. The first icon on the type right corner gives you a virtual tour. It's way in the country, but it's in our price range. I love the house we're in now, but the street in front is very busy, and scares the crap out of me. I know it's not practical, but the house is so charming.

So we were going to go to Mexico in the winter for 2 wks. It was the place my parents go to every year, and where we went for our honeymoon. Over the weekend it was discussed that we have to go to Sweden next spring instead. Calle feels it's his obligation to go to Sweden so his family can see the baby (even though his parents were here in April). I'm a little disappointed since Mexico would be much more relaxing and overall enjoyable. I guess that's what you have to do when the in-laws live a million miles away. I do feel bad that his parents can't see Leif whenever they want./:

If I lie Leif down in his crib and play classical music he will lie there peacefully.
When he's downstairs on the floor, he's all over the place. He must like the music.
Babies are funny.

I sold the druggies across the street a stereo for $30 at our garage sale last week, and now they blast it all the time.
I'm so pissed off.

Leif weighs 14lbs7oz and is 26 inches long. I guess he's kind of long and thin.(:
He did really well getting his needles. Only cried a wee bit.
