Sanrio Baby

It was the best of times; it was the worst of times. The baby's room has been Hello Kitty accessorized while our garden is looking very blah due to an unusually cold winter that has killed mostly anything tropical.

Mary and my biao mei, Amelia, just got back from Japan and paid us a visit after helping my parents with the busy Valentine’s florist season. Mary supplied most of the Hello Kitty items to the baby’s room and much of it either does not exist or are hard to come by in the US. Amelia was the one who donated the ginormous Hello Kitty seen in the picture and how she got it would be a story for another time.

Logan was more than happy to have playmates for the last 4 days to play with and entertain him. He particularly seemed to enjoy torturing Mary by making her watch him play Lego Star Wars on the Gamecube everyday. On a side note, Logan seems to loves playing the villains in the game after they are unlocked. Maybe it is because he does not get to play them during the actual story part of the game, but I am hoping it is not any indication of which side of the force he would really choose. :P It’s really funny that Logan does not enunciate clearly when he speaks and the way he says Count Dooku is Countie Doodoo . :)

It is a sad time for me to see the state of the yard. I did some late planting last year and most of those plants will die. I might just have to replant a lot of it now in the spring so that there is more time for the plant to acclimate to the climate before winter hits again. I can't seem to stay still because I am still painting the rest of the living room and family room areas. However I hope to never pick up another paint roller for this house after this year.

Karri is pretty much on a lax bed rest order. She just needs to take it easy because the doctors say her fluid is really low. If drinking more water and resting do not help bring up the fluid levels they might need to admit her to the hospital. Nothing too serious really but just something we need to watch out for. I am really itching for Karri to give birth now, we always wanted to have a daughter and now we got our wish. And yes for personal selfish reasons taking some time off of work would be very nice. :) - Brian
