Leif with his new bed that Granddad and Leif built.
This Week, We:
:: are enjoying a visit from Grandmom, Granddad, & Sammy.
:: are so happy that Leif has a new big boy bed. Leif helped Granddad build it - it is a very simple design, and is not totally finished. It still needs some paint and also has a surprise feature that Mommy will build in to it. Leif is so very proud of his new bed!
:: Planted a Winter Garden, late...again. We planted Snow Peas, Chioggia Beets, Cilantro, Sage, Thyme, Lemongrass, Red Beets, and Arugula. We also planted some Mesclun Salad on Oct. 25th, and that is growing right nicely. We would like more winter greens in the garden, so we'll be picking up some leafy green seeds next time we're in town! We still have plenty of room in the garden...any suggestions for some winter crops?
:: are ecstatic (well, Momma is) that the Wood Storks are back in town! See photo below. There are three of them grazing the mudflats for breakfast - these are the first Wood Storks I've seen since Grandmom and Granddad visited in Feb. and I took that black and white photo of the W.S. as they were going out on the boat.
:: are still excited over the bed. It is tall enough to hold four large baskets underneath it, which hold toys now, and eventually, clothes. His crib mattress fits nicely on top. We told him that if he keeps it dry for a week, he'll get a nice big pillow to go on it.
:: have big plans for Leify's room. If I could ever get Jason home for more than a few minutes at a time, we'd have it done in no time. As it is, I'm lost without his carpentry skills!
:: have decided that we are definitely going to Maryland for Thanksgiving. It was up in the air for a while, but now, well, Sea Glass, here we come! :)
:: are loving this Fall weather!
Leif's new bed in the morning light.
LOVE that bed! Great work, guys. Once the paint and the surprise are finished it's gonna be awesome. Great idea, too, Laura. The last pic is really nice. What's the status on the wall shelves? Get those up while you have help!
ReplyDeleteGlad you're coming up here for Thanksgiving. Be prepared for some Dempseyage.
I cannot express how HAPPY we are that you all are coming up... I have my calendar cleared! Love the bed. Good work Leif and Granddad
ReplyDeleteSeriously, can't you do something about that kid's cuteness? I dissolve into a puddle of squee!!!!s every time I see him.
ReplyDeleteThe bed looks beautiful. How exciting to get to sleep in a big boy bed! What's the surprise you're going to put into it? You can tell us. We won't squeal to Leif.
