Back To Work

HiHo HiHo It's Off To Work I Go!

But I get to work here:

It has been 4 weeks since Rome's birthday and it's time to go back to work. Luckily it's still off-season and the office isn't busy. In between meetings and social updates, I managed to pump four ounces of milk for little Rome (not bad for my first try). It was a little embarrassing at first, thinking people were listening to the repeating sh-shoo noises coming from my office, but the excitement of watching the actual Lactina Electric Plus in action was fascinating.

Can You Guess?

Our Home

Our kids have consumed most of our blog time that not much has happened in the Sexton Household. We did manage to watch a TBS Movie - The Holiday. I found it interesting how the English name their properties... See "Rosehill Cottage" to the right ... Below is a drawing of our Spanish Casa Pequena" ~ We'll have to think of a name for her.



In the Meantime...

Frank and I can enjoy our produce! Our basil plant is doing very well, and our strawberries actually produced THREE mini-strawberries (which were quite delicious!).

Six Pounds
Nine Ounces
Nineteen Inches

From Auntie Sam!

This arrived Yesterday!

Vaughn is getting a little anxious seeing all the new presents for his little brother. He can't wait to open all the boxes! Soon - TWO MORE WEEKS LEFT!!!

Nursery Update

Before Shots
To Show you what we're working with, here are a few shots of our 'blank canvas.' Vaughn Torin doesn't look so happy in the crib. We originally purchased the crib for him, but he has never ever ever used it. However, I have a feeling that once his baby brother arrives, Vaughn will want the crib back.








After Shots
Below are pictures of our progress. We painted the walls, added decorative molding, floating shelves (for those thoughtful little knick-knacks), and blinds. We tried a new dimmer, but it still requires additional wiring, which would delay our project significantly. Our next step is to add a valance, art, and minor touch-ups. I pulled out all of Vaughn Torin's old clothes to wash, totally forgetting that newborn babies need special laundry detergent. Anyway, this is where the crib will go.


Eventually we will replace the autograped Diamondback Pictures (displayed below) with a flat screen TV for the boys to share. Hopefully, we will find a changing table/dresser for this side of the room.
