An update

We are not sure if Subabe Ver 2.0 likes car rides like her big brother. M (no longer MTB) says Subabe Ver 2.0 goes pat-pat-pat-pat when we speed up to merge onto the expressway. Maybe the girl loves the speed. In any event, she is a night baby by all accounts, waking up just as her mother is turning in. That should make a nice combination - V starting to wear us down right from the break of dawn, to her picking up just as we are about to go to bed.

It has been almost a month since we moved houses. But we are nowhere near being settled. After two weeks of frantic searching we finally found the steam iron last night. The music system has been put together, but I can't find a single CD. We have Internet, but connectivity is patchy - I have yet to get around to setting up the home network. We have yet to assemble all the different bits and bobs that go into making up our home. The kitchen is almost all there, as is the living room for the most, but the study looks like a tornado just touched down. The garage is still unfit for the car, we have to empty out the book boxes and stack the bins in the corner before we can move in the car. But, at least I can go to the loo in peace.

We do have to get everything squared away fast. November will be here before you know it and then it will be a wild scramble again. Btween now and then, there is the start of the term, meetings, review board, meetings and more meetings. Then there are doctors’ appointments, lab visits... must make time.

M (no longer MTB) is heavier sooner this time around. She also seems more tired than before. Of course it could also be that V is just really wearing her down during the evening.
