Home Again, Home Again

Our Ithaca trip was as productive as we hoped it would be.  We scored over a dozen cloth diapers, a box of Baby Bits Wipes Solution, Bun garb and spent a good deal of time with our friends and their tribe of kiddos.  Oh - we also ate at Moosewood.  If you're ever in Ithaca, I highly suggest eating there - especially if they're having a Mexican themed night!

While we were in NY we sort of discovered a house up there that fits everything we want in our dream home.  It's built in the 1800's, sits on 5.11 acres of land that backs up to a creek.  The property includes a barn and 2 paddocks and the house itself has a fireplace and a claw-foot tub.  It's a steal.  Unfortunately, the plan to move to the country so I can get some livestock and really start raising all our own food wasn't going to go into effect for about 4-5 years (give or take)...so who knows.  This house is amazing though.  Plus, Ithaca is home to some pretty fantastic stuff for kids - like The Anarchy Zone.

However, for now we're back in the city in our own late 1800's home with quite a large yard (for urban-dwellers).  Tonight I cooked dinner for our 2 of our good friends with tomatoes I grew from the garden, so at least there's that.  

1 week until the 3rd trimester. 

2.5 weeks until baby shower #1 (in our hometown).  Our friends are having one for us here in early December. 

Time is flying.  I'm still not moving fast enough.
