El Bodeguero

Hi all! I had no idea what to call this post, and the first thing that popped into my head was the title of Caitrin's favorite song (from Songs for Cabriolets and Otros Tipos de Vehiculos by Karl Zero, for those that were wondering). At right is my new favorite photo of Little Miss, taken last Saturday. She is so precious!

Let's see, our latest is as follows: Monday marked a month that we've been cloth-diapering, and it's great! I'd heard this from those who encouraged me to do it, but didn't believe it myself till we tried it: we HATE disposables now! They actually seem more of a hassle than cloth does. I still want to trade my diaper pail for a step-on plastic trash can that is easier to maneuver dirty dipes into, but I'm not paying $15 for it. But no rant about the cost of things, I'll just leave it at that.

Our Internet is spotty lately; we think it's some kind of problem with our wireless network. We're having a phone jack installed in the office so we can just plug the modem directly into the computer, but the soonest Verizon could do it's not till August 19th. So we never know when we can get on here and it's QUITE exasperating. But there is a silver lining...I'm actually taking the time to learn Photoshop Elements now, since I can't usually get online. Can't do any sophisticated graphic work yet but getting fairly proficient with its photo editing capabilities. That's all I really wanted it for anyways, the other stuff will just be icing on the cake!

Our little family unit is getting our own place when the Heelens descend upon Canaan Valley later this month! I'm so excited! It'll be crazy to be down there with Caitrin...but in a good way of course. Can't wait to share with her something that's become such a part of who we are, and to take her to Sirianni's, of course! Cannot wait to repair to the mountains. I SO need the break.

Wow, it is nearly time for Sean to get home and Caitrin's just woken up from her afternoon nap, so must close here. All the best to everyone!
