If you follow my highly intermittent Tweets and Facebook posts, you probably know what’s up.  Or down (with that).  This here is an update for those who aren’t up or down and just sitting in the middle wondering what’s going on.

“New” Stuff For The Kiddo

It’s not a holiday.  It’s nobody’s birthday.  There’s no particular special occasion at all.  I just decided that Remy was old enough for certain items, so we’ve been on the Craigs List look out for reasonably priced versions of the wish list.

Mr. Dish Washer Man

Remy’s been interested in water and sinks for a while, but Gary took it a step further and gave him a scrub pad.

Sandbox And Swingset

Earlier dad went up he street and came back carrying a swingset. Then he wa soff to get some big heavy railroad timbers and he called in an ordr for 2 yards of playground sand. I may be the new kid on the block but that adds up to a swingset sandbox combo.  I really like to go high in the swing and have learned that a fistfull of sand tastes pretty yucky.  Some photos of the construction process.

This Week’s Update

Well, it’s been a little busy around the Parr Crumpler household.  I’ve had some billable work, which is great news for the cash flow, but doesn’t do a lot for the frequency of blog posting.  Priorities being what they are. 

Remy’s still in the almost but not quite yet crawling phase.  He can move short distances expending lots of effort.   It’s the whole moving his arms to transport his body forward thing that’s stumping him.  He’ll get it.  In the meantime, we’re finishing up a few overdue projects like adding foamy edge things to our very cool looking but un-baby safe glass tile topped coffee table.   Since he’s already grabbing the edge to pull himself up, this is an important project, even if it does uglify our living room.  Such is life.

Awesomely Super Nursery

Here we are.  Just imagine a levelor blind the approximate color of the upper background greenish color and we are done.  Oh, and a baby.  Eventually, there will be a baby in there too.

OK Yes I Am Nesting

It’s official.  I finally had the energy to match the motivation to have my environment set and ready.  The house is looking pretty good.  The car seat is installed.  The bags are mostly packed except for the stuff that won’t go in until we’re heading out (snacks, pillows, etc.)   And.  And (sound of trumpet) [...]

Latest Nursery Pictures

I’m chipping away at the project, but things are really starting to gel with more shapes drawn and filled in with white then a base color. It’s not a realism job, that’s for sure, but I’m really happy with the way it’s turning out. I have a lot of detail work to do before [...]
