Closet For Rent. Low Rates. Clean Sheets.

Sorry. You didn't move fast enough.
The vacancy has been filled by a sweet little lady with huge blue eyes.


For 5 weeks our poor child has been living in limbo. She sleeps in a temporary bassinet and had nowhere to put her clothes. They ended up in a pile on a bench in our room. It was like she was an extended guest that we didn't really have room for.

But now! She has her own dresser thanks to my uber-talented sister Doena. Last week Doena and my niece Illyra surprised and then delighted us with a beautiful dresser that was Illyra's when she was little. Doena worked her magic on it and now it is a fabulous piece of furniture.

Thanks a million times!!!

So now Violet is permanent guest that we still don't really have room for.

After outgrowing her current accommodations she will be moved to a porta-crib in our closet for a year or so. After that...we don't really know.

Our house used to be the perfect size for us. Now we're packed like sardines. Hallie keeps hinting that she wants the piano room. "Heck No!" is all I have to say to that nonsense. I'm not giving up that room!

At least for another year...(*sniff*)

Yeah, I suspect your piano room might be going the way of my craft room...But at least you can kick Hallie out in a couple of years and reclaim it! (Yeah right, then Hannah will want her own room, and then Grace...)
