Baby Jane is here!

Last Sunday, Mother's Day, I got quite a surprise when my water unexpectedly broke early and started Jane's entry into the world. She was born that night and weighed in at 9 lbs, 3 oz. She's tall like her brother- at almost 22 inches.

She's 1 week old today!

The New Year Blahs

That last entry was soooo long, thanks to those who took the time to read it!

So all the holiday festivities are officially over and we're attempting to get back to normal. Really that won't happen until school starts but we can try. The Christmas stuff starts coming down today. I kind of hate that- everything looks boring without the lights and Christmas tchotchkes. I've had a few art pieces waiting in the wings to go up so now would be a good time to get those hung. At least it's something fun and new (to me- it's all vintage so none of it is really "new"). Maybe I'm feeling a touch of the post-holiday blues. Anybody else feel a little lost this time of year?
One of the paintings I'm hanging up:

I got this for my birthday from one of my good girlfriends. It's an oil painting dated 1931. It's titled "Amy's Dog" and signed C. McMahon. My friend knew I would flip over it because it's a vintage original and because it's an adorable Pekingese! I love my Peke and he's a charming, but a lot of Peke portraits come out ugly. Guess that's 'cause some Pekes are so ugly they're cute!
My sweet puppy (13 yr old puppy anyway)

Televisión

July 28, 2012~

Saturday! Although it doesn't feel like it as Jason had to work almost a full day today. When he got home we went to our favorite pizza place and then to Target... to get a new TV on sale! 

For months our TV would take about 8 minutes to stay on and focus. While Juju and I were gone, it started randomly changing the channel or lowering the volume or pulling up menus or turning off. It was caused by some malfunction in a control panel. It got worse and worse to the point that yesterday it just turned off every few minutes. the TV was really too old to repair. I know that watching TV isn't the ultimate form of entertainment or even very good for you, but in a house without AC it is a necessary distraction!

Jason shopped around and finally found a good deal on a basic LCD screen TV. It's a little smaller than our last TV, but works well. It's really got a nice picture, but this is our first "modern" TV, so I'm not sure how it rates against other TVs. Honestly, I'm just happy to have a functioning one.
