Sold

Someone finally bought our car. I really do hate to part with it, it's been so reliable and good to us over the 7 years we've owned it. With 2 girls, however, I do realize that it was getting small. Needless to say, I'm absolutely thrilled that we don't have to deal with vehicles for at least 5 years! It's either train, bus, bicylce or by foot for us at least until 2014.

The house still has not rented although we did find a couple who are extremely interested. Keep your fingers crossed...

Miki & Sam are fine. Miki is 3 years old this Thursday. Ericka's been planning a small birthday party for her on Valentine's Day. Sam is starting to teethe (is that how you spell that?) and she is putting on the chunk, much to our satisfaction.

Nana, Aunt Heather, cousins Evann and Sully will be here on the 1st of March for a few days. We are looking forward to their visit.

It snowed here today. Very cold and blustery. I went home for lunch and started a fire in the woodstove for the girls. The snow did not stick and it has now turned to rain. Dreading the cold, wet pedal home this evening. Oh well, as the saying goes: "Suck it up!"

Over the weekend I purchased a new (low-flush) toilet and sink for our upstairs bathroom. A good friend is going to help me install those plus retro-fit banisters for our staircase; housing codes for stair railings have changed since the house was first built.

We saw Slumdog Millionaire over the weekend (thank you, Neil), a great movie. It has inspired me to seek out the book, I'm curious how much, if any, is based on real events/people.
