So here is another update. Sarah and I still seem to have very little time for leisurely activities such as updating a blog. I can only assume that we will have more free time once the baby arrives. Sarah is growing quite a good little belly. Here is a succession of shots for all of those who can not make it to see the real thing at this time.
What a cutie. The nursery is progressing nicely. Mom and dad Mulder came down last weekend and helped me hang drywall and start the mudding. It was a great help!! Sarah and I feel that this coming weekend, we will be able to paint the nursery. I guess that means that we will have to come up with colors this week. We are thinking red black and purple stripes. That is not set in stone yet though. Little "Foxey" is not much help in the decision making. All she can do at this point is kick, but she never does it in response to a question about room color. You'd think she would care a little more about her own room. I have been mudding the room ever since dad Mulder left and I've learned a few things. 1. Mud is cheap... buy as much as you need, then buy some more. 2. Always work your mud. It comes out of the bucket with lots of bubbles. Things will work more smoothly if you slap it around a bit first (insert crude joke here). 3. The bigger the blade, the broader the stroke. 4. In this case, pressure is a good thing. 5. There is great beauty in the phrase, "you're in a closet... don't try so hard." In all reality, if the drywall ends up looking like a perfect, smooth wall then it won't match the rest of the house.
In other news, we are trying to narrow the search of baby names down, but it is still going rough. I am quite disappointed in the lack of participation in the baby name contest on this blog. Do I have to up the stakes. Who ever comes up with the winning name gets a free month of spending time with "Foxy" at their house (while Joel and Sarah go on a cruise)
