I guess I have posted too many picture this month so now they are being held hostage by photobucket. I don't have time now to fix the issue but I guess they will reappear at some point in time. Meanwhile I want to thank everyone for your congratulations and formyou compliments. As I held my grandaughter today, I was thinking of that day 29 years ago that I first held her mother. I truly have been blessed and I am so grateful. Sorry but I just can't resist posting one more picture

Oh, as for the job, I certainly am quite tired when I get home at night, and when I wake up in the morning! But I do quite enjoy it so far. Going to a conference tomorrow about local educational research. Mr. Robo Has been finding the transition challenging. It doesn’t help that Em started teething shortly after he took over. But Mr. Robo is very competent and I think they are having some fun together, too. he sent me these pictures

Yes, he has just begun pulling himself to stand and laying quietly on his back for a picture is NOT on the agenda! Mtn I had a source on kijiji (craigslist) who was downsizing her vintage quilt collection for peanuts! I just wish she had more she was willing to part with.

Definitely leaning towards neutrals, as this is the color scheme of this entire level of the house. All walls are BM cloud white. All windows have black curtains. Flooring is the same gray/taupe hardwood throughout. I was thinking caramel brown leather to pop out on that black shiplap wall, but may be too pricy for 4 chairs. Definitely don't want anything traditional or fussy (which I KNOW goes hand in hand with the mahogany piano but alas I cannot change that lol!) Furniture in the adjacent rooms is cream/gray/wood. I'll upload a picture when I get home to give an idea
