To mark this nearing of baby, how about I float a few photos of the nursery your way? I think it is development, perhaps some were along half way done.

A shot showing the clouds kate painting and the blue wall. Personally, I think that all boy bedrooms should be done in a Dinosaur motif, but I was vetoed. C’est la vie. I think Kate did an awesome job on the clouds.  They are extra fluffy.

In this shot, witness the crib (thanks Grandma TJ).  It is pretty bad ass and is a mighty improvement over my plan of keeping the kid in drawer.  Also, the glider. Thanks very much to people that went into getting us this thing.  I suspect it will be one of the more heavily used baby accessories.   Finally, that painting is from a dude that used to hang out next to the alley by our old apartment.  $30 and it is my favorite art thingy we have.

Various and sundry dolls.  Kate and I made the ones on the ends, our friend made us the Sock Monkey.

One more shot from the other direction. I am weary of describing stuff. Infer for yourselves.

Getting ready for a day with my Family coming over for food, I realized I didn’t have a grill (thanks Ballard Fred Meyer for helping with that) and didn’t know how to use one.

Now, I am well equipped for summer cooking. Which is great.

Here is a photo of Kate pretending she was cooking (she was not):

As memory serves, that was a Vegetable Medley and some tasty steak that Kate picked up on a walk through Pike Place on her way home.  I am currently working on Grilled Cheese Technology.

I want to try grilling up some fish, but that seems a little less intuitive than throwing slabs of red meat on the grill.  Will cross that bridge on a later day.
