Samuel is loving all the extra space in the new house (so are mom and dad). We are getting the last couple of rooms set and final boxes unpacked. Today we made a trip to Ikea, my favorite store. We found some cheap shelves for Samuel's room that I am going to attempt to stain in order to match his furniture. We also found some rugs for the hardwood floors and shoe racks. Mike's favorite purchase was his new chair. He has been looking at a chair at Ikea for over three years. I found one in the "As Is" section marked down over $100. We think it was only returned because there is no visible damage. All we had to get was the pad. He is thrilled. I am wondering if he will ever venture out of it.


Last night, Samuel had his friend Roxy over! Roxy's mom and I are in the same Tuesday night group. Roxy will be nine months old this month and is very mobile. I am beginning to see what I am in for in a few months. Anyway, the two love playing together. Samuel just stares at Roxy as she moves about. Roxy is very interested in Samuel's eyes and nose, good thing he doesn't seem to mind. Next week, Samuel will visit Roxy so Mike and I can have a date night! What's that?
